Good Form Preview - Saturday Night @ Bray

The Game Plan for Ballarat – with Jason Bonnington (@jasonbonnington)

Tonight’s Ballarat meeting is actually quite tough but hopefully we’ve found something for everyone with two Best Bets, two Money Races and two Quads.

Best Bets/All-Up ($50)

This All-Up should snare you around $200 for a $50 outlay.

Dell Boy (Race 1 no. 10) $2.80

He’s not completely foolproof but this bloke is pretty stable for a 2YO Trotter and if he performs to the best of his ability he’ll be too strong and too classy for this lot at what should be better than even money odds.

Badewitz (Race 5 no. 11) $1.50

Time and time again we see handy 3YO’s tackle moderate open-age races and come away with the price. Tonight, the above pacer, who has plenty of talent based on his excellent Breeders Crown repechage placing at Geelong, will take on a pretty average field of C1’s and should be a mile too good for them, poor draw and all.

The Money Races

Race 4

This is a great betting race as there are four almost-equal winning hopes who should dominate and only two other runners who can fall into third. I’m keen here and I think the right  1-2-3 combo could pay pretty well.

1,6,7,8 Boxed. $36 gets 150%
1,6,7,8/ 1,6,7,8/ 2,9. $14 gets 58.33%

Race 5

So much of our night will be based on Badewitz (11) winning that it seems almost cruel to load more weight on his back here but I’m so keen he’ll salute that I’m taking these Trifectas too.

11/ 1,2,7/ 1,2,7. $30 gets 500%
11/ 1,2,7/ 5,6,10. $20 gets 222.22%

The Quads (x2)

1,6,7,8/ 11/ 2,6/ 2,5,8. $40 gets 166.67%
1,6,7,8/ 11/ 3,4,5,7,9/ 2,5,8. $60 gets gets 100%
