Track Insights — Ballina
Recent Patterns:
- Multiple reports of wide runs - suggests inside draws holding advantage
Top Jockeys Here:
- L P Rolls: 4W from 13 (30.8% win, 53.8% place)
- D L Turner: 2W from 3 (66.7% win, 100.0% place)
- Yvette Lewis: 1W from 4 (25.0% win, 25.0% place)
- Jett Newman: 1W from 8 (12.5% win, 37.5% place)
- D Peisley: 0W from 3 (0.0% win, 33.3% place)
Barriers: Middle barriers (4-8) provide the best tactical options, allowing flexibility to settle forward or back depending on pace. Inside barriers excel in smaller fields, while wide draws suit horses with natural speed.
Pace: Sprint races (1000-1200m) favor leaders and on-pace runners. Middle distance (1200-1600m) suits versatile runners who can position midfield. Staying races (1600m+) reward horses with sustained stamina who can finish strongly over the final 400m.
