Ballarat Race 7

Eureka Concrete

Prize Money: $3,360

PAW WHISTLER (2) boasts a strong record this course with two wins and two minors from six tries. Comes off a (25.55) win last time, scoring by 1.3 lengths in a Mix 3/4 over 460m at Geelong. Looks suited here and rates on top. PAW XENA (6) is in top form lately including a dynamic win at Shepparton in 25.27 two back then backing it up with a 23.33 victory at Horsham over 410m latest. Should be in this for a long way. SPRITELY SIAN (7) could manage only second last time but ran sharp time (25.64) at Geelong over 460m when beaten 1.3 lengths in a Mix 3/4. Top win latest and can measure up again.

Missed the frame when seventh (30.46) at Sandown at last run and returns here after a seven months break. Has a win and a minor from two fresh up runs. Will need the right run.

Good effort to win last start by 2.5 lengths over 450m at this track in a handy (25.61), beating Whatever He Said. Will find this a bit tougher, in winning form but this a tough assignment.

Comments

Eye-catching performance racing just off the speed and going on to score by 1.3 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at Horsham, clocking a slick 23.33 over the 410m trip. Hard to top on that run.

Finished in the minors last time in a Mix 3/4 at Geelong when a 1.3 lengths second but did run a brilliant 25.64 for the 460m trip. Bold showing expected but prefer each way again.
