BALLARAT SYNTHETIC
BEST BET
VOLKANO (Race 8 No. 9)
Won with leg in the air on debut track and distance then not disgraced rising sharply in grade. Back on home deck and hardest to beat.
â â â â â
NEXT BEST
QUITE THE LASS (Race 2 No. 6)
Hard fit and racing consistently. Placed third the past two starts and should be right in the finish.
â â â â â
VALUE BET
THE BONT (Race 7 No. 5)
Veteran caught the eye last start at big price. Back in grade and fitter again. Watch for him late again.
â â â â â
LAY OF THE DAY
MOAKSUN (Race 4 No. 1)
Deserves a win and would love him to do so, but too short for 13-start maiden, albeit placed nine times.

THE JOCKEY - JOHN ALLEN
INSTINCTIVE SPIRIT (Race 3 No. 8 $6), MOAKSUN (Race 4 No. 1 $2.30), SIERRA DEE JAY (Race 5 No. 5 $6.50), KAWA (Race 6 No. 3 $12), COSMIC RHAPSODY (Race 7 No. 1 $4.80) and SPIRITED DEFENCE (Race 8 No. 2 $2.50)
