Jett Hatton’s tips and best bets for Ballarat Tuesday

Pretty keen on one resuming for the Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott stable while Josh Richards has a great book of rides and shapes as the jockey to follow.

BEST BET

LAMA

R8 No.4

Four-year-old from the Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott stable which created a good impression on debut before turning in a solid performance in a strong provincial Benchmark 66. Liked his recent trial at Tatura, from barrier two he’ll go straight to the front and prove tough to run down.

NEXT BEST

TORBRECK

R5 No.4

Has the form on the board to be winning this and from the inside barrier, Torbreck should get every chance. Gets in well after the claim from Josh Richards and given even luck, the three-year-old should be in the finish.

VALUE BET

BULL DUST

R7 No.1

Was disappointing last time out on a heavy deck but will appreciate getting on to the synthetic and dropping back to 1200m. Logan McNeil brings him down to a winnable weight after the 2kg claim, he’s drawn to receive a soft run in barrier three and at close to $23, Bull Dust looks a solid wager.

THE JOCKEY – Josh Richards

Trainers are keen to utilise the 2kg claim from Josh Richards, with the apprentice having a stellar book of rides at Ballarat on Tuesday.

COME ON EILEEN (R2 No.9 – $9), DIDER (R4 No.1 – $4.60), TORBRECK (R5 No.4 – $3), MELISENDE (R6 No.2 – $5.50), HINTO BLUE (R7 No.3 – $11), MICHANTE (R8 No.3 – $3.20)
