Daily Racing Tips, Friday August 9

Ballarat Race 5 (3:00pm)
#8 Duchess Grace

Duchess Grace couldn’t have been much more impressive winning a benchmark 58 at this track and distance last start by 3.3 lengths. The I Am Invincible mare has drawn well in barrier 6 and should again be hard to beat.

Ballarat Race 6 (3:30pm)
#1 Freedoms

Freedoms has been racing very consistently this prep until an ordinary performance last start at Wangaratta. He drops down in distance and grade for this contest and although he will have to carry the big weight, he has been well supported in betting and can measure up if he brings his best form.

Canberra Race 2 (12:55pm)
#4 Polyxena

Polyxena has been there abouts in every one of her seven race starts to date. She returned to the races with a very good third first up at Grafton and a similar performance will see her go close again.

Tamworth Race 3 (1:50pm)
#1 Hotel Charlie

Hotel Charlie looks ready to break through for his maiden win after putting together three very good runs at this track including a very close third over this distance last start. He has been well backed to break through and I think he will.
