Ballarat Race 5

Eureka Concrete

Prize Money: $1,530

PYRENEES ACE (1) turned in a plain effort last time when eighth at this track over 450m behind Dad's Surprise (26.26) in a Grade 5. Boasts a strong record from this draw with three wins and two minor placings from six starts. Can discover winning form. INSTANT ACTION (5) turned spotting a big start finishing eighth (30.91) last time in a Grade 5 at Sandown. Has a good record at this journey. One of the better chances. UNIVERSE (7) doesn't win out of turn but looks close to breaking through. Has hit the frame at his last three runs, the latest finishing second (31.03) at The Meadows. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from six attempts. Can measure up. ZARI DESIREE (6) should be thereabouts despite an unplaced run here most recently.

Missed the frame latest (26.26) when eighth over 450m at this track in a Grade 5. Goes very well off the draw boasting three wins and two places from six starts. Looks a leading chance.

Ran a better race when second behind Husky Sara Lee at Bendigo last start over 425m (24.55). Gets back so might need a bit of luck.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when second (25.72) at big odds over 450m at this track. Has a low draw but appears tested on latest effort.

Surprised two starts back at Bendigo to win by 1.75 lengths in 24.76, beating Cool Freddy. Last start finished 4th over 425m at Bendigo beaten 8 lengths (24.80) behind Collinda Pops in a Grade 5 on July 8. Should be around the mark.

Got back last start and could only manage seventh but before that won by a neck at Geelong (26.30) beating Gravy Train in a Bottom Up - Restricted Win on July 14. Racing well and has to be included.

Hit the frame latest (31.03) when second at The Meadows in a Grade 5. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Looks a key chance on best form.
