These Thursday fixtures at Ballarat can be a bit hit and miss.I believe the track is closing down after the Ballarat cup meeting so they can do some remedial work on it.It would be good if they could begin using the "outer" track when the work is finished.They only seem to use the "inner" track nowadays which is tighter and nothing like as big..Anyway some of the meetings they have had there over the last couple of years have been utterly dreadful.The midweek meeting held there last week (on a Wednesday) was absolute rubbish and run on a glue pot surface.
The harsh reality is that there are far too many racecourses,racehorses,trainers etc.The whole thing need rationalising and updating.I have no idea why we have to race 7 days a week in Victoria and NSW.Surely the Trots and the Dogs could have center stage a couple of days a week.Alternatively different states could have there prime midweek day on different days of the week.
Today's meeting is actually OK.There are some interesting maidens and the handicaps are reasonably easy to get a handle on.
I'm struggling so far this month so I need to lift my game a bit.I'm interested in two today at this stage and a couple more if markets lean too heavily towards the obvious favourites and create value elsewhere.At the moment markets are at 135% or more so there no point in going in there early.Races 1 and 6 are likely bets though so if your intested look out for "tweets 10/15 mins before jump time
