There are two quality meetings on Saturday, headlined by the Ballarat card, where the feature is the Group 1 Ballarat Pacing Cup, while there is a good meeting in Menangle.
Below are the best bets for the respective programs.
Ballarat
Best bet: Race 8, Number 1, Sicario
Lochinvar Art isn’t far off joining the conversation as one of the most exciting pacers this part of the world has seen this century. He leads and wins. So, who runs second and third? I hope Sicario can fill one of those spots. He’s a great place bet because he has good gate speed and Chris Alford will be hoping to hold them out early, then hand up to the star. Odds of $3.80 or thereabouts to run top three looks like a good bet.

There are a couple of strong cards of racing on Friday, with the main focus being at Tabcorp Park Melton.
Down below are the best bets for the respective programs.
Tabcorp Park Melton
Best bet: Race 7 Number 4 President Roydon
The query with President Roydon was whether he would maintain a zest for racing having not raced since 2018, but his resumption at Bendigo suggested that he is well and truly come back as good as ever. He closed off strongly in a fast last half and the depth here is nowhere near as strong. Short, but should be winning.

It might be New Year’s Eve on Thursday, but at Tabcorp Park Melton, it’s almost like Christmas Day part two, with 12 races set down, all of which are at Group 2 level. Here are the best bets for the monster program.
Tabcorp Park Melton Share
This shapes up to be an epic race between this guy and Major Moth. Idyllic is the one I like and am keen on. He should get a very comfortable lead with Chris Alford steering and this colt has got better as the season has gone on.

Below are the best bets for the respective programs.
Shepparton
Best bet: Race 3, Number 2, Flingandwingit
The Craig Cross stable has been low flying this season and they have this very talented trotter going around first up. He can resume a winner. Recent efforts in Melton back in October were quite good, and this horse has been kept on ice for this series. He holds up and leads comfortably. From there, he’s too good.
