Ballarat Turf Club is the destination for an eight-race meeting on Thursday afternoon. Clear skies are the theme of the day, and although the track was rated Soft 6 at the time of acceptances, we should be racing on an improving surface as the day goes on. The rail will stick to its true position, with racing set to get underway at 1:30pm AEDT.
Best Bet at Ballarat: Changing Colours
Changing Colours put in an eye-catching run when second at Bendigo on October 6 over 1300m, going down by a half head despite giving her rivals a hefty head-start. The step up to 1400m looks ideal for Chris Waller’s runner, and barrier five gives her the chance to settle a touch closer to the speed. If Joao Moreira can have her in clear air on the home turn, Changing Colours looks the goods in this BM64 affair.

Next Best at Ballarat: Double Market
Double Market produced a strong finish to score at Ballarat on October 3 over 1400m. The Castelvecchio filly had to make up multiple lengths on the home turn, but she did so running away from her rivals once asked to fully extend. She draws to gain a perfect run in transit from barrier two under Mick Dee, and barring any bad luck in the straight, Double Market should be keeping her undefeated record intact as she steps up to the mile.

Best Value at Ballarat: Both Sides Now
The Ciaron Maher-trained Both Sides Now put in an improved performance second-up after a stinker when returning from a spell. The four-year-old mare was left flat-footed when the speed went on over 1300m last time out but stuck on well to suggest the Ballarat 1600m should be right up her alley. John Allen will use barrier two to his advantage, giving Both Sides Now every chance to lead throughout at a nice price with horse racing bookmakers.
