BALLINA PREVIEW AND TIPS | EXPERT TIPS | SUNDAY OCTOBER 5TH 2025
Betting Strategy
BACK: 3. DEODEE (WIN)
DEODEE (3) bucked just after the start and settled a clear last before closing strongly for second to Need For Spieth at Grafton on Sept 22. Had to requalify last Tuesday so not the ideal lead in to this but will still take beating.
Betting Strategy
BACK: 1. THE GAMBLING GREE (WIN)
THE GAMBLING GREEK (1) looks well placed resuming in country grade. Was a debut winner at Eagle Farm and won there again in a 3YO Open last prep. Trialling well and gets a 2kg claim.
Betting Strategy
BACK: 1. TRUE FAIRY (WIN)
TRUE FAIRY (1) scored a very good win at Coffs Harbour before a closing third at Grafton. Changed stables and was a nice second to My Girl Zarlie at Casino then made up some ground when fifth to Mission To Win at Coffs Harbour at Coffs Harbour.
Betting Strategy
BACK: 1. LAUNCHER (SCR)
LAUNCHER (1) was good finishing a three-quarter length third to Welly first-up at his Queensland debut on the Gold Coast. Followed with a second to Heroic Rebel at Eagle Farm.
Betting Strategy
BACK: 11. LOVECATS (WIN)
LOVECATS (11) comes up from Victoria after three runs finishing just behind the placegetters but she had performed well in her jumpouts. Made her first public appearance in NSW with a second to new stablemate Fukubana who is a stakes performer. Showed good speed to lead that trial and drawn well here.
Betting Strategy
BACK: 2. WRITTEN FAME (WIN)
WRITTEN FAME (2) will appreciate a drop back from provincial grade where he has finished fourth and at Ipswich. Came from back in the field with a powerful finish to score by just under three lengths at Kempsey.
Betting Strategy
BACK: 6. OLIVERSHARE (WIN & PLACE)
OLIVERSHARE (6) kicked off last campaign with a nice win from Come On Glamour over 1115m after sitting outside the leader. Jumped up to 1435m and wasn’t suited sitting midfield where he raced keenly and checking off heels to finish seventh at Grafton. Resumes for a new stable and the wide draw suits.
