Country racing returns to Ballarat Turf Club on Monday afternoon, with a competitive eight-race program set for decision. The rail is in the true position the entire circuit, and with no significant rainfall expected across the weekend, punters can expect a genuine Good 4 surface for race-day. The opening event is scheduled to get underway at 1:30pm local time.
Best Bet at Ballarat: Dancing Dolly
Dancing Dolly has been a frustrating commodity for punters, finishing in the minor money in all three-career starts. She was beaten a short-price favourite with horse racing bookmakers in her most recent effort at Bendigo on October 19 but hit the line well to suggest the step-up to 1600m would be ideal for the daughter of Ace High. She should get the gun run along the inside running rail, and provided she can get off the inside at a crucial stage, Dancing Dolly should finally break her maiden at start four.

Next Best at Ballarat: Aligning Stars
After a strong barrier trial victory at Hawkesbury on August 26, the Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr)-trained Aligning Stars has been sent to Melbourne in preparation for this first-up assignment. The Pierata gelding hit the line well in his most recent piece of work at Cranbourne and has shown adaptability heading into his debut. Barrier four gives Thomas Stockdale plenty of options, and provided Aligning Stars can bring that trial form to race-day conditions, this guy will prove hard to hold out.

Best Value at Ballarat: Deccan Odyssey
The Lindsay Park-trained Deccan Odyssey represents good each-way value with horse racing bookmakers in this maiden contest. The son of Alabama Express trialled impressively at Flemington on October 25, cruising through the wire under his own steam. Daniel Stackhouse takes the reins from barrier six, and with a superior turn-of-foot than some of his key rivals, watch for Deccan Odyssey to be bursting over the top late with Neds paying $6.50 for this feat.
