Ballarat Race 7

Eureka Concrete

Prize Money: $2,925

MIA COCO (3) caught the eye with a fast early split and setting up a 4 length win at this track over 390m in 22.03. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Hard to go past. MANDOLIN STORM (8) jumped wide and had a clear run last start, leading all the way to score (25.62) at this track in a Grade 5 over 450m. Ran the fastest time on the program in her latest win. Expected to feature again. GO PIKACHU (6) has been out of the placings the last couple but was a Grade 5 winner (25.54) three back at this track. Can feature with the right run. PAW UELLA (1) is a last-start placegetter after leading early doors - worth considering.

Comments

Charged out of the boxes with a slick early split and went straight to the front, giving a huge sight but headed late when a 2.5 lengths third (26.21) over 460m at Geelong. Has been racing well enough. Among the chances.

Backs up after finishing 5th on February 6 over 460m at Geelong in a Grade 5. Others make more appeal.

Eye-catching performance leading throughout to post a big 4 lengths victory in a Grade 5 last start at this track, clocking an outstanding 22.03 for the 390m trip. Has the ability and looks hard to top.

Could only manage sixth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when second (24.46) over 425m at Bendigo. Awkwardly drawn and needs to find best form to feature.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won by 1.5 lengths at Bendigo (24.02) beating Heathcote Rupee in a Grade 5 H on January 30. Happy enough to avoid.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 450m in 25.62 last start, beating Sunny Stride. Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.
