Ballarat Turf Club is the venue for one of the two meetings in Victoria on Sunday afternoon, and with a competitive eight-race meeting awaiting, hopefully a winner or two can be found. With a perfect summer day forecast, the track should remain a Good 4, and with the rail out 1m from the 400m to the winning post, a perfect track awaits. Action from Ballarat commences at 1:30pm AEDT.
Best Bet at Ballarat: Whistlefield
In the second leg of the quaddie, the Tom Dabernig-trained Whistlefield looks set to go a couple better having finished third first-up from a spell at Bendigo over 1100m. The Deep Field three-year-old was hitting the line nicely first-up off a five-month spell, and with race fitness under her belt, she should only improve. Considering she will get back in the field upon settling, Jordyn Weatherley’s 3kg claim will get her in nicely with just 56kg on her back. With a swift turn of foot, Whistlefield should have no issue blousing her rivals.
Best Bet
Race 6 – 
#8 Whistlefield (9)
3yo Filly | T: Tam Dabernig | J: Jordyn Weatherley (a3) (59kg)

Next Best at Ballarat: Altermatum
Altermatum has shown more than enough in her two career starts thus far and brings the best exposed form to this two-year-old maiden on Sunday. Tony & Calvin McEvoy thought enough of the Zoustar filly to have her in as the second emergency in the Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m), and considering she has been beaten 2.4 lengths behind Bodyguard and 2.8 lengths behind Hayasugi, she should just be winning her. Harry Coffey will have the filly settled midfield with cover, and if she can replicate her finishing burst from her first two starts, Altermatum will prove too hard to hold out.
Next Best
Race 2 – 
#7 Altermatum (5)
2yo Filly | T: Tony & Calvin McEvoy | J: Harry Coffey (56kg)

Best Value at Ballarat: Bremen
In what looks to be an open maiden contest over 2600m, if the John Moloney-trained Bremen can replicate his last start second at Pakenham, he is right in a race like this. The four-year-old gelding ran into one better on that night over 2550m and looks to have found his niche stepping up to this distance range. Jarrod Fry will have the son of Dundeel stalking the pacesetters throughout from barrier five. He has fitness on his side, and despite being a nine-start maiden, Bremen can salute at a nice price with horse racing bookmakers with an economical run in transit.
Best Value
Race 3 – 
#1 Bremen (5)
4yo Gelding | T: John Moloney | J: Jarrod Fry (59.5kg)
+1300 with Neds
