Ballarat Race 6 - Eureka Concrete

VALLETTA MOON (1) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at Warrnambool behind Paw Kenneth (25.88) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Can find winning form. THERMAL FLAME (8) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by 2.5 lengths at Bendigo in a handy 24.27 beating Cheeky Alessia. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in her latest win. Must be included in calculations. CHERRY PIE (2) has shown good improvement at her last two starts, the latest scoring at this track over 390m. Still to record a win from this draw but has never missed the frame in two starts. Leading chance again. SIT AND STEER (7) is worth some thought after placing last start.

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 3.5 lengths fourth (26.00) over 450m at Shepparton. Has ability and worth including.
