3 minute read

Racing and Sports finds the best-backed runners in early betting on Thursday’s meeting at Ballarat.

Track: Heavy 10

Rail: Out 6m 800m - WP, True Remainder

First race: 12.30pm

Fastnet Isle (Race 1) has taken to the jumping caper in good fashion, winning his maiden two runs back then was beaten less than a length in this grade last start. That form has seen punters throw their support behind him today and he has firmed more than half a point to $2.70. His previous flat form was also strong with successive wins at staying trips and he is a wet track winner.

Swiss Kiss (Race 4) is another to firm about a half point, her quote firming into $3.50 fixed odds. She was a dead heat winner when resuming, her third successive win on either side of a spell from just four career runs. She is expected to progress with the added fitness and although untried on heavy ground she has a win and a placing from two runs on soft.

My Sanctuary (Race 5) is a firming favourite at $3.10 having shortened 40 cents in early betting. The British-bred mare was a strong winner on a heavy 10 surface last start and with similar conditions and a step up in trip she looks well suited again.
