The all-weather surface at Ballarat will host a competitive eight-race card on Tuesday, August 20, commencing at 1:30pm AEST. Intermittent showers are forecast throughout the afternoon but should not cause any issues in regards to kickback, meaning we should get a fair surface for all. See below for our free Ballarat betting tips and quaddie selections.

Best Bet at Ballarat: Excellent Lover

Excellent Lover could not have been any more impressive when winning her debut at this course over 1100m. She travelled three wide with no cover and was still too good for maiden company. Considering the Exceed And Excel filly is drawn in barrier three for this 1200m BM58 assignment, Blaike McDougall will give her every opportunity to reign supreme once more.

Next Best at Ballarat: Miss Toronado

After a dominant maiden win on the Ballarat synthetic on July 14, Miss Toronado headed to Sandown on July 31 and simply never went a yard on the Heavy 8 deck. She now returns to the scene of her debut victory, while barrier one is a big bonus for this 1000m scamper. Alana Kelly should get a cheap lead from the gun draw, and that should prove beneficial inside the final 200m.

Best Value at Ballarat: Miss Cheviots

Miss Cheviots appeared to take a liking to the Ballarat synthetic when running third in BM58 grade over 1200m on August 13. Despite stepping up to a BM64 on the seven-day backup, the Street Boss mare is rarely beaten by much in this sort of company. She will be making her run from the rear of the field, and if they overdo it out in front, Miss Cheviots will be the one charging home late.
