Ballarat Race 6 - Eureka Concrete
PAW HADES (4) ran below his best last time finishing fourth (25.75) over 450m at Shepparton in a R/A FIN. Has a good record at this journey. Has ability and looks hard to stop. MAGNUM RIOT (1) is worth forgiving last start after finishing fourth (25.41) from Box 4 at this track over 450m. Key runner who gets his chance to atone. COME ON LARRY (2) has mixed form recently, finishing seventh (25.68) in a R/A FIN at Warrnambool latest but did run well two back when in the frame. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. ASTON HERCULES (3) placed last time out so worth considering.

Last start finished 4th on April 29 over 450m at this track behind It's Bubble Time beaten 3.5 lengths (25.41) in a Grade 4/5. Was in the money three on end before missing the frame last time. Worth another try.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when second (25.44) over 450m at Warrnambool. Draws an inside box and is in the mix.

Missed the frame latest (25.75) when fourth over 450m at Shepparton in a R/A FIN. Starts from box 4 for the first time here. Looks suited and should go close.

Backs up after winning comfortably by 4.5 lengths at Traralgon (23.75) beating Joey in a Grade 5 on May 1 six days ago. Likely to find this a lot tougher and she needs to find another gear.

Was out of placings last time (23.77) at Horsham in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 5.5 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and seven minors. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.
