Ballarat Tips June 12
Brandt Maiden Plate Tips (Race 3)
Ballarat Value Bet - Race 3 No. 10 Chestnut Teal
Chestnut Teal performed well in two jumpouts ahead of her racecourse debut, finishing in the first two on each occasion.
A runner-up effort at Ararat marked the second of those appearances before the filly debuted over 1000m at this venue last month.
Racing on a Soft 5 surface, the filly settled off the pace before finishing sixth in an 11-runner field, beaten less than three lengths.
The form of that race received a boost when third-placed Mountjoy went on to score during the Swan Hill Carnival.
The Prince Of Caviar filly is expected to have improved for that debut effort and, with the rise in distance another positive, she receives weight from all bar one rival and rates value to break through.
Manhari 0-62 Handicap Tips (Race 5)
Ballarat Next Best Bet - Race 5 No. 8 Dancing Dolly
Dancing Dolly has demonstrated a liking for this venue in the past, with a 1600m victory here in October completing a winning double.
Racing on a Soft 5 surface, the mare led throughout and finished nearly three-and-a-half lengths clear of her nearest rival.
The mare has raced on Good tracks in all three subsequent starts, with two of those efforts coming this preparation.
Both of those runs saw her start favourite before being beaten less than three lengths on each occasion, while she heads into this race off a sixth-place finish over 1600m at Cranbourne in April.
While she has just one Heavy-track appearance to her name, she appeared to handle a Heavy 9 without issue that day and, having been freshened since her latest effort, looks capable of returning to winning form.
Hygain Edge 0-62 Handicap Tips (Race 6)
Ballarat Favourite - Race 6 No. 2 Dynamite Dancer
Dynamite Dancer has shown up well on rain-affected ground in both starts to date, including on debut at Warrnambool in November.
Racing on a Heavy 8 track, the gelding was slowly away and ridden conservatively before staying on nicely to finish third over 1000m.
The youngster was beaten three-and-a-half lengths that day before breaking his maiden at Horsham at his next appearance.
Stepped up to 1100m, the pick settled closer to the speed and registered a comfortable two-and-a-half length victory, with the quicker Soft 7 surface proving no issue.
The three-year-old has recorded two jumpout wins ahead of his return to action and, having scratched from a race at Donald recently, looks capable of making a winning start for the Matthew Williams stable.
Sportsbet Race Previews BM66 Handicap Tips (Race 7)
Ballarat Best Bet - Race 7 No. 12 Albanian I Am
Albanian I Am boasts solid wet-track form, with one of his three victories coming on a Heavy surface.
The gelding delivered a promising effort when finishing fourth over an inadequate 1400m at this venue on his penultimate appearance.
The six-year-old improved on that effort when stepping up to 1800m for a metropolitan event at Caulfield Heath.
Racing on a Soft 7 track, the gelding stayed on strongly to finish third, beaten just one-and-a-half lengths at Benchmark 66 level.
Barrier seven should not pose too many issues, with Neil Farley's mount having displayed tactical versatility, and Paul Koumis' representative is taken to register his first success of the season dropping
