Ballarat Race 6

Eureka Concrete

Prize Money: $3,360

SLICK IVAN (1) caught the eye with a fast early split and setting up a 4 length win at this track over 390m in 22.10. Great chance again. PAW ESTRELLA (8) is a progressive type who recorded her 15th career win last time out (22.42) at Geelong. Solid record here at the distance winning three races. Has a strong record out of this box with three wins and a minor placing from five starts. Sure to measure up. LILLY ZOOM (7) stalked the lead after a clean break from the tricky draw and went on to finish third (23.01) at Geelong in a Free For All over 400m. Won at her only start from this draw. Winning chance. SPRING LASSEN (2) is worth some thought after a surprise placing last start.

Impressive performance showing plenty of speed to score by 4 lengths in a Grade 4/5 last start at this track, clocking an outstanding 22.10 for the 390m trip. Can measure up again if runs up to that effort.

Missed the frame last start when a 10 length sixth (22.63) at this track. Previous form sound including a win three back at this track. Could pose a serious challenge if finds best this time.

Good performance to win by half a length at this track over 390m (22.15) beating Bull Durham in Grade 5 on April 1. Can't make much of a case this time.

Was out of placings last time (25.56) at this track in a Grade 4/5, finishing eighth and beaten 7 lengths. Has performed well off the draw with a win and four places from seven starts. Makes appeal on best.

Last start finished 3rd over 400m at Geelong beaten 5.5 lengths (23.01) behind Come And See in a Free For All on March 27. Has been around the mark at her last couple and should make her presence felt.
