2020 BALLARAT CUP – RACE ANALYSIS AND TIPS

Both Our Big Mike and Inverloch will bowl along in front with Knights Order. Strong test at the trip on the cards. Up to 2000m is the query for JUNIPAL (4). Has been to the trip once in the past and ran well - though a touch below expectations there. He is a better horse now, though. Terrific winner last week in fast time and looks the horse to beat if he can stretch that out over the longer journey.

AFFAIR TO REMEMBER (10) relished the 2000m last time and hit a new career peak which can stack up. She will be powering at them late. AL GALAYEL (5) is well suited by the freshen up and has a winning hope while the Group One winners, KINGS WILL DREAM (3) and HARLEM (2), are both doing enough to think that they can figure. Neither are poorly treated against these.
