Best Bet at Ballarat: Miss Sunshine
Miss Sunshine is yet to miss the top four from five starts and is coming off a credible fourth-place finish in Saturday grade at Morphettville on May 4. The Tony & Calvin McEvoy-trained filly led the field up but was run over in the concluding stages, only beaten by 1.2 lengths. Returning to her home track and dropping back to 1000m should prove to be the recipe for success, as Harry Coffey will find the front and lead every step of the way.
Best Bet
Race 8 – #6 Miss Sunshine (3)
3yo Filly | T: Tony & Calvin McEvoy | J: Harry Coffey (57kg)

Next Best at Ballarat: Silent Alert
Silent Alert returned from an 18-week spell with a gallant runner-up finish behind Valetudo at Benalla on May 7. The Leon & Troy Corstens-trained gelding settled behind the leader and eventual winner but couldn’t bridge the gap late. The son of Shamus Award will have taken a lot of improvement from his fresh run and should be ready to win in an easier race.
Next Best
Race 1 – #2 Silent Alert (6)
3yo Gelding | T: Leon & Troy Corstens | J: Ben Allen (58kg)

Best Value at Ballarat: Finance Legend
After just holding them off to win at Horsham first-up over 1400m, Finance Legend rises to 1500m second and is expected to adopt similar tactics. With Jarrod Fry taking the reins, he will take this guy straight to the front. With only one other speed influence in the race, and a run under his belt, Finance Legend should get things his own way in the lead and prove hard to run down again.
Best Value
Race 5 – #3 Finance Legend (9)
3yo Gelding | T: Tom Dabernig | J: Jarrod Fry (61.5kg)
+750 with Neds
