Ballarat Race 9

Eureka Concrete

Stake: $3,393

APPLICATION (2) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (22.40) in a Grade 5 at this track. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Has winning claims on his best figures. JUNGLE FIREBALL (1) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fifth (26.52) in a Grade 5 at Geelong. Solid record here at the distance winning four races. Has performed well from this box with a win and three minor placings to his name from seven starts. Great chance to atone. ASTON EXCLUSIVE (7) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing eighth (25.93) in a Restricted WIN at this track. Great chance to atone. ASTON JOPLIN (3) cannot be ruled out.

Missed the frame latest (26.52) when fifth over 460m at Geelong in a Grade 5. Goes very well from the draw boasting one victory and three places from seven starts. Looks a key chance on best form.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when second (22.03) over 390m at Shepparton. Has a squeeze box to navigate and will need to find best.

Not fancied in the market and didn't complete the course last start. Reasonable effort the start before when third over 350m at Healesville. Prepared to just watch this time.

Was out of placings last time (25.93) at this track in a Restricted WIN, finishing eighth and beaten 5.5 lengths. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from two starts. Has ability and looks a key chance.
