Ballarat Synthetic tips Tuesday: $23 value bet

Racing in Victoria heads to the Ballarat Synthetic on Tuesday, and we’ve found a few horses worth having a crack at.

Trainer Matty Seyers.

National Racing Editor Matt Williams runs a rule over Tuesday’s meeting on the Ballarat Synthetic.

BEST BET

Race 5 No. 1 SANTASTICO - $2.40

Matty Seyers-trained runner from South Australia who is racing well. Should account for this lot.

NEXT BEST

Race 2 No. 5 EXTREMELY WICKED - $2.80

Five placings from seven starts and is due to break through. Good run at Cranbourne first-up when third.

Race 4 No. 5 COAST PRINCESS - $4

Putting a line through her last run, and banking she can find form on the synthetic. Johnny Allen going on is a plus.

VALUE BET

Race 7 No. 8 CRYSTANADO - $23

Mixes his form a bit but if he can perform to his best he’s big odds at a nice each-way price. Blinkers on.

THE JOCKEY

BLAIKE MCDOUGALL

McDougall has a book of five strong rides.

WINDORAH (R1 No.9 - $4), MAID OF THE MIST (R4 No.3 - $5), SIGN FROM ABOVE (R5 No.6 - $6.50), HISSY FIT (R6 No.6 - $6), LE MESSAGER (R7 No.1 - $6)
