Ballarat Race 9 - Eureka Concrete
OVERLAND BOY (4) was a last-start winner from the rails at The Meadows over 600m (34.64) after leading through, scoring by 0.6 lengths. Can measure up again. EXTRAVAGANZA (1) found some support last start but struggled into fifth (30.28), beaten 6 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. ASTON MACHINE (5) scored two back then was always well back and could manage only a 12 length 7th at The Meadows (31.12). Bold showing expected. GOBLIN (2) must be included in calculations.

Missed the frame latest (30.28) when fifth over 515m at Sandown in a Grade 5. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Has ability and should feature.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished seventh over 390m at Warrnambool, beaten 11 lengths (22.80) behind Ritza Old Mate in a Grade 4/5 on July 9. Well placed and among the chances here.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at The Meadows over 525m in 30.11. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when seventh over 525m at The Meadows at Grade 5 level. Major threat on best form.

Modest effort last time out when fourth over 545m at this track. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.

Finished second at big odds last time (35.25) over 600m at Mt Gambier. Wide draw here. Will need plenty of luck.
