Best Bet at Ballarat: Miss Sunshine
Miss Sunshine will return from a 35-week spell after finishing third behind Lakota Fire over 1000m at Morphettville back in July. Trained by Tony & Calvin McEvoy, this three-year-old filly will be competing at her home track following two impressive jump-outs at Ararat and Bendigo. Harry Coffey will be legged aboard for his first ride on this daughter of Snitzel, who will jump straight to the front, run the race to suit herself, and pull away from her rivals late.
Best Bet
Race 2 – #7 Miss Sunshine (9)
3yo Filly | T: Tony & Calvin McEvoy | J: Harry Coffey (57kg)

Next Best at Ballarat: Clock Strikes
After being defeated by Grinzinger Angel in a photo finish at Pakenham last start, Clock Strikes is still seeking his first win of the campaign. The Robbie Griffiths & Mathew de Kock-trained gelding received a good run in transit and let down with a strong finish, just missing in a final lunge at the tiring leader. With Patrick Moloney taking the ride from barrier one, Clock Strikes should be able to hold the rail, lead, and give a strong kick at the top of the home straight.

Best Value at Ballarat: Skipjack
Peter Moody & Katherine Coleman’s Skipjack will make his debut after winning the second of his two jump-outs over 800m at Pakenham with Linda Meech in the saddle. There, the two-year-old colt showed superior speed from the jump, and once challenged on his outside, he found another gear to pull away late under light riding. The booking of Meech signals intent to push forward from an inside barrier, and if Skipjack brings that jump-out form to the races, he could prove too speedy for his rivals over 1100m.
Best Value
Race 1 – #9 Skipjack (5)
2yo Colt | T: Peter Moody & Katherine Coleman | J: Linda Meech (58kg)
