Don’t Hope Do is favourite with wagering agencies for the Country Discovery (1100m) this afternoon at Ballarat.

The Simon Zahra trained gelding has been up a while but is holding his form really well and appears hard to beat here. He is at $4.

Geegees Mistruth is at $5 on the second line of betting, with Spywire at $6.50. She’s Bulletproof is at $7 and is being kept safe with top wagering apps.
