Ballarat Race 11

Eureka Concrete

Prize Money: $3,360

OUR PATCH (6) placed last time (22.23) at this track in a Free For All, finishing third and beaten 1.3 lengths. Has two wins already from this draw. Expected to go close. ASTON WARRIOR (7) was strongly fancied last time and hit the ground running with a sensational early split, paving the way for a 3 length win at this track over 390m in 22.22. Makes plenty of appeal if runs up to latest. LIGHTNING RANGE (3) was out of in the placings when fifth last time but three runs back clocked a slick 22.17 win over 390m at Warrnambool. Expected to feature on best figures. COMMANCHE JACK (4) must be respected despite an unplaced effort here most recently.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 5th on May 5 over 400m at Warragul behind Hard To Rock beaten 4.5 lengths (23.18) in a Grade 5. Placed two back at Shepparton. Has been racing well. Well placed here and looks a leading contender.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 2 lengths in 22.06, beating Starship Atlas. Last start finished 4th in a Free For All on May 7 over 390m at this track behind Sweet Love beaten 2.25 lengths (22.29). Is a danger.

Finished in the minors last time in a Free For All at this track when a 0.8 lengths second but did run a fast 22.19 over the 390m trip. Can sneak a place again.

Flew the lids with a sensational early split last time and went on to clock 22.22 as a strongly fancied winner over 390m at this track. Can make it back to back wins.
