Best Bet at Ballarat – Rain Lord
We do not need to wait too long on Tuesday for our best bet of the day when the Peter & Paul Snowden-trained Rain Lord steps out in the opening race of the day. The two-year-old gelding arguably should have won on debut at this track and trip on May 27, but ultimately struck traffic on the home turn and could not finish closer than a 0.3 length second. The Lord of the Sky colt draws barrier seven for this and if Daniel Moor can have him settled midfield with cover, all he needs to do is replicate his debut effort to go close in this. With a majority of these seemingly being not much chop, the $2.10 on offer with online betting sites is an early EOFY gift.
Best Bet
Race 1 – 
#9 Rain Lord (7)
2yo Colt | T: Peter & Paul Snowden | J: Daniel Moor (57kg)
Next Best at Ballarat – Hallowed Ground
In the second leg of the quaddie we will be hoping the George Osborne-trained Hallowed Ground can a third successive win on the Ballarat Synthetic. Two starts back he romped it in by four lengths at the 1200m and then back it up with a similarly dominant win at the 1100m by five lengths in a Class 2 event. The three-year-old gelding steps back up to the 1200m, a trip he has only missed the top three on one occasion from four goes. He has lugged 59.5kg and 59kg at his last two starts, so the 61kg should not be an issue and considering he is a genuine front runner, his early speed will negate the wide barrier. Look for Craig Newitt to have him leading this field up and under a well rated ride, Hallowed Ground should prove too hard to gun down once again.
Next Best
Race 7 – 
#1 Hallowed Ground (17)
3yo Gelding | T: George Osborne | J: Craig Newitt (61kg)
Best Value at Ballarat – Lady Ardoyne
The Tom Conlan-trained Lady Ardoyne has been knocking down the door for a maiden victory and at start ten looks well placed to do so. The three-year-old filly was wide throughout last time out when finishing third behind the smart The Red Kite and prior to that ran into Birdies Galore when finishing second behind that subsequent metro winner in Adelaide. She looks to gain the perfect run in transit in the one-one under Jordan Childs and if she is anywhere near the level of her last two runs, the $10 on offer with online bookmakers is too hard to pass up and one we are willing to take on at an each-way basis.
Best Value
Race 3 – 
#7 Lady Ardoyne (5)
3yo Filly | T: Tom Conlan | J: Jordan Childs (56kg)
