| Race | Horse | Betting Suggestion | Summary |
| R6 | 5. Balistique | Best Bet | Only speed influence, suited back at this track, can control from the front. |
| R8 | 9. Kindra Park | Value | Brave runs lately, drops back to 1200m, maps well on speed. |
Turf Talk:
- The track is rated a Good 4. A small number of showers are expected but suggest there won’t be enough rain for a downgrade.
- The rail will be true the entire.
- Generally, an even racing track but it can lend itself to favouring runners who settle forwards of midfield when dry and the inside lanes are playing fairly.
The Stats That Matter:
- Shane & Cassier Oxlade have 2 runners today and generally perform well here at their home track Strathalbyn, striking at 16.7% and a POT of +15.6%.
- Connor Murtagh is a jockey to follow closely; he has ridden 12 winners in his last 100 rides at a POT of +11.9% and also has a positive return from only 25 rides at this track previously. He will saddle up in 6 races today.
Race 6 – No.5 Balistique
(5) Balistique has been tough to catch in her last handful of starts for her new stable, but it may also be fair to say that she hasn’t necessarily got an ideal set up just yet and today she looks as best suited as we have seen. On a track where it may be hard to make ground, she looks the only real speed influence in the race, so if she can get a soft run along out in front, she should prove hard to catch here. Her one career win has come at this track, but it looks the right level for her.
Betting suggestion: Backing Balistique (Best Bet)
Race 8 – No.9 Kindra Park
It has been a long time between wins for (9) Kindra Park but his 2 most recent runs, he has showed some much better form. Particularly the last start run at Balaklava where he was brave on speed and caught late over the 1400m from a runner who has subsequently won again. (9) Kindra Park looks better suited back to the 1200m today and draws favourably to the inside barrier, also well in at the weights he can go along out in front and may take catching.
Betting suggestion: Backing Kindra Park (Value)
