<h2>Daily Racing Tips – Tuesday 13 August</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Sportsbet-Ballarat Racing Tips</h3> <p><br /> <em>Racing on the synthetic track. Fine weather expected. Rail True.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Race 1 (1.00 pm) Maiden (1000m)</strong></p> <p>Handy debut sixth behind the smart First Settler at Flemington (1000m) on July 20. Raced handy and was beaten only 3.05 lengths. That’s good form for this and he’s a trial winner on the synthetic at Pakenham.</p> <p><strong>Racing Tip:</strong> <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/horse-racing/australia-nz/ballarat-synthetic/race-1-8464848">Akku</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Race 5 (3.00 pm) Benchmark 70 (2100m)</strong></p> <p>We tipped him to win at Murray Bridge (1800m) last time out, and he had no luck when fifth in a blanket finish. First time on the synthetic but he’s in form and John Allen rodes on his home track. Ready to win. Bet each-way.</p> <p><strong>Racing Tip: </strong><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/horse-racing/australia-nz/ballarat-synthetic/race-5-8464844">Rudhyar</a></p> <h3><br /> Hawkesbury Racing Tips</h3> <p><br /> <em>Track Good 4 on Friday. Fine weather expected. Rail out 4m 1100m-450m, true remainder.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Race 1 (1.15 pm) Maiden Plate (1500m)</strong></p> <p>Ran second to Rag Queen at Canterbury in January. Fitter for two recent sound runs, when she finished off strongly over 1200m and 1300m. Kerrin McEvoy in the saddle is a big plus.</p> <p><strong>Racing Tip: </strong><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/horse-racing/australia-nz/hawkesbury/race-1-8464802">Elegant Artist</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Race 4 (3.10 pm) Maiden Plate (1300m)</strong></p> <p>In the strong Joe Pride stable and ready to win. Hit the line hard for third behind Zouripper at Canterbury (1200m)n on July 24. Extra distance and fitness in his favour.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Racing Tip:</strong> <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/horse-racing/australia-nz/hawkesbury/race-4-8464806">Threatening</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Race 6 (4.25 pm) Class 1 Handicap (1100m)</strong></p> <p>Extremely well bred son of Zoustar who resumed with a soft win over this course and trip on July 21. Can’t see why he can’t win again.</p> <p><strong>Racing Tip:</strong> <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/horse-racing/australia-nz/hawkesbury/race-6-8464805">After Match (best bet)</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Ballina Racing Tips</h3> <p><em>Track Good 4 on Friday. Fine weather expected. Rail true.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Race 6 (4.05 pm) Benchmark 66 Handicap (1250m)</strong></p> <p>Two runs for trainer Stephen Lee since moving from Victoria, where his form was sound. Worked between horses when on the pace at Lismore and didn’t give up. Extra distance will suit. This looks to be his race to lose.</p> <p><strong>Racing Tip:</strong> <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/horse-racing/australia-nz/ballina/race-6-8464821">Immortality</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Gatton Racing Tips</h3> <p><em>Track Good 4 on Friday. Fine weather expected. Rail true.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Race 6 (4.05 pm) Benchmark 66 Handicap (1250m)</strong></p> <p>Big run when second over this course and trip last start. Checked at start, went forward but wide, but blundered midrace, losing many lengths before storming home late along the rails. Drawn to get a better run.</p> <p><strong>Racing Tip:</strong> <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/horse-racing/australia-nz/gatton/race-6-8464758">Toba</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Daily Racing Tips - Play of the Day<br /> &nbsp;</h3> <p><strong>Sportsbet-Ballarat Race 1:</strong></p> <p><strong>Racing Tip:</strong> Quinella and Trifecta&nbsp;</p> <p>There looks to be only three changes in this race – the bottom three in the weights. Our tip is Akku (no 8), but Ravenite (7) and Immortal Lass (9) are the only dangers. Tie them up in a quinella and trifecta.</p>
