Ballarat Race 4

Eureka Concrete

Prize Money: $1,530

PRETTY CAPRI (1) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame from Box 2 last run (23.52) at Mt Gambier. Has a very good strike-rate from this draw, with three wins from five starts. Can measure up this time. GENESIS BALE (7) was out of the placings last time when fifth at Geelong (26.74) but did record best time of the card when winning four back. The form from his last run stacks up well. Should be in this for a long way. JOSIE'S JEWEL (8) ran well two back when hitting the frame then out of the placings at Mt Gambier latest but returns to a course where she has performed well. Key player on best and worth another try. TESSA ORCHID (2) can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Improved sharply when second behind Mocambora Mia at Mt Gambier last start over 400m (23.52). Gets back so might need a bit of luck.

Strong performance to win by one length at Bendigo over 425m (24.48) beating My Girl Kellie in Grade 5 on January 22. Likely to find this too tough.

Was out of placings last time (26.74) at Geelong in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 13 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and three minors. Has ability and looks a key chance.

Could only manage fourth last time but the start prior hit the frame when second (30.08) over 515m at Sandown. Tough draw to overcome but in the mix on her best form.
