Ballarat Race 6

Eureka Concrete

Prize Money: $1,530

VALLETTA MOON (8) comes off an average run last start when sixth at Shepparton over 390m behind Rovaniemi (22.71) in a Grade 5. Was in the money prior to that. Form from her last run is proving to be solid. Can discover winning form. GO MY SWIFTY (3) turned in a moderate run last time when seventh at Bendigo over 425m behind Flying Doormat (24.79) in a Grade 5. The form from his last run stacks up well. Should be in this for a long way. BLUER THAN BLUE (6) has mixed form recently, finishing seventh (25.76) in a Grade 5 at Warrnambool latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Can find the frame this time. TIGER ROCKS (2) cannot be left out over a shorter distance.

Didn't make the placings last time at Bendigo (24.70) in a Grade 5, finishing a 6 length fifth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Suited here and expected to run well.

Comments

Was sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 4 length fourth (22.39) over 390m at Shepparton. Should be around the mark.

Missed the frame latest (22.71) when sixth over 390m at Shepparton in a Grade 5. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Leading player.

Expected Early Speed:Front Runner
