When Monday, November 6, 2023
First Race 1:50pm AEDT

The new week of racing gets underway at Ballina on Monday afternoon, with a competitive seven-race program set for decision. The surface is currently listed as a Good 4 at the time of writing; however, with showers forecast across the weekend, we’re expecting a significant downgrade into the Soft or even Heavy range. The opening race is set to get underway at 1:50pm AEDT.

Best Bet at Ballina: Smart Recognition

They simply don’t trial much better than Smart Recognition did on October 24 at Eagle Farm. The Chris Anderson-trained three-year-old scored a dominant win by 5.5 lengths, clearing away under Michael Rodd. He maintains the ride for race-day as the son of Smart Missile returns from a 143-day spell, and with form from last preparation that jumps off the page in this kind of class, Smart Recognition should be a maiden no more after Monday.

Best Bet

Race 1 – Silks#1 Smart Recognition (7)

Next Best at Ballina: Tosen Dreamer

It’s been seven starts without a win for Tosen Dreamer, however, she has placed five times throughout her luckless career. She finished her latest campaign with another minor placing at this course on June 29, narrowly defeated by less than a half-length on the wire. Since that effort, the daughter of Tosen Stardom has been back to the jump-outs, looming up to her rivals impressively at Grafton on October 24. It’s ‘last chance’ material for this four-year-old, but we’re confident Tosen Dreamer can get the job done at start eight.

Next Best

Race 2 – silks#9 Tosen Dreamer (3)

4yo Gelding | T: Samantha McGuren | J: Matthew McGuren (57kg)

Best Value at Ballina: Trapeze Flyer

Trapeze Flyer was well-beaten on debut at Ipswich on October 26; however, we strongly believe the three-year-old gelding is worth forgiving. He missed the start significantly and had nothing to take him into the race from the rear of the field. That was over 1200m and with an immediate step up in trip only a positive for this three-year-old by Trapeze Artist, we’re expecting a much-improved effort on Monday afternoon.

Best Value

Race 7 – Silks#9 Trapeze Flyer (10)

3yo Gelding | T: Lauren Abbott | J: Georgina Cartwright (57.5kg)
