Midweek racing heads to Ballarat Synthetic this Wednesday, where punters can expect a consistent, all-weather surface and even racing pattern.
With the rail in the True position and cool winter conditions prevailing, this is a day where fitness and proven synthetic form will be valuable assets.
The synthetic track often rewards horses that can sustain a strong gallop, and wide barriers are rarely a disadvantage given the sweeping home bend.
Leading form analyst David Gately has worked through the eight-race card and found several key plays across the program.
With many horses trialling well or switching from grass to polytrack, it shapes as a competitive day for punters chasing winners and value.
