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.
■ ■ ■ ■ ■
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.
■ ■ ■ ■ ■
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.
■ ■ ■ ■ ■
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.
