Ballina (NSW) – Heavy 10
R1
Sword Of Legacy looks extremely hard to beat dropping back from stronger company after a dominant first-up run, and with natural improvement he should control this race. Immortal Storm resumes with a strong record and profiles as the main danger, while Commedia continues to race well at this track and can again be in the finish. The debutant Funky Cold Medina is one to watch in betting for minor money.

7. Sword Of Legacy ($1.70)
3. Immortal Storm ($3.10)
6. Commedia ($6.50)
- Funky Cold Medina ($12.00)
R2
A competitive staying contest where Classic Shiraz brings strong last-start winning form and looks well placed to go on with it.

Moment steps up in trip and can improve into the placings.
Selections:
4. Classic Shiraz ($3.60)
7. Shark Park ($4.20)
2. Sicilian Warrior ($6.50)
6. Moment ($11.00)
R3
Amazigh Torque has been ultra consistent and in a race lacking tempo should get the perfect run to break through. Weekend Artist resumes with upside and looks the main threat, while Super Johnny Joya will strip fitter second-up and can improve again. Tales Of Fortune is a first starter worth including in wider exotics.
Selections:
2. Amazigh Torque ($1.55)
8. Weekend Artist ($4.80)
6. Super Johnny Joya ($8.50)
- Tales Of Fortune ($10.00)
R4
Too Hot To Torque was solid first-up and looks primed to go one better here with that run under the belt. Alleze has done nothing wrong in two starts and brings upside, while Diamondsaremio backs up quickly and could improve. In The Fine Print draws well and can run a cheeky race at odds.
Selections:
6. Too Hot To Torque ($2.35)
4. Alleze ($4.60)
10. Diamondsaremio ($12.00)
- In The Fine Print ($15.00)
R5
Dance Gavin Dance is in peak form with consecutive wins and from the inside draw should get every chance to continue the streak. Spirit Of Brodie is consistent and always around the mark, while Deep Stealth resumes with solid trial form and upside. Geegee Jet By is chasing three straight and can’t be ignored.
Selections:
7. Dance Gavin Dance ($3.60)
6. Spirit Of Brodie ($4.50)
13. Deep Stealth ($8.50)
2. Geegee Jet By ($8.00)
R6
Moet At Midnight maps perfectly from the inside draw and looks well placed to take out the finale. Risk For Reward is proven in heavy conditions and shapes as the main danger, while Decadad has the ability to figure with the right run. Brazen Sailor drops back in grade and adds value to the wider multiples.
Selections:
10. Moet At Midnight ($3.80)
7. Risk For Reward ($6.00)
