BEST BET

SIGNAL (Race 5 No. 1 – $3.10)

Signal races well first-up and his latest jumpout at Mornington indicated a forward first-up showing is likely.

NEXT BEST

FAIR GAME (Race 1 No. 5 – $2.90)

Fair Game showed ability when placed in both runs last time in and has had more time to develop. No reason he won’t run well fresh.

MISS XTRAVAGANZA (Race 3 No. 7 – $3.10)

Miss Xtravaganza raced handy and was only beaten narrowly on the Ballarat Synthetic track last time. She’s ready to win.

VALUE BET

YOU LITTLE NIPPER (Race 2 No. 12 – $6.50)

The Archie Alexander-trainer You Little Nipper was sound in her first racing campaign and will be better for it. She can break through on her home track.

THE JOCKEY

JOHN ALLEN

Jockey John Allen has five rides at Tuesday’s Ballarat Synthetic meeting. COOL CHARLIE (Race 1 No. 1 – $66), BOWER BOY (Race 2 No. 2 – $2.70), ROMANTIC TOM (Race 3 No. 2 – $19), STAR HONOUR (Race 5 No. 4 – $4.40), LACEMAKER (Race 6 No. 6 – $8.50).
