Ballarat Race 5 - Eureka Concrete

PYRENEES ACE (1) turned in a plain effort last time when eighth at this track over 450m behind Dad's Surprise (26.26) in a Grade 5. Boasts a strong record from this draw with three wins and two minor placings from six starts. Can discover winning form. INSTANT ACTION (5) turned spotting a big start finishing eighth (30.91) last time in a Grade 5 at Sandown. Has a good record at this journey. One of the better chances. UNIVERSE (7) doesn't win out of turn but looks close to breaking through. Has hit the frame at his last three runs, the latest finishing second (31.03) at The Meadows. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from six attempts. Can measure up. ZARI DESIREE (6) should be thereabouts despite an unplaced run here most recently.

Missed the frame latest (26.26) when eighth over 450m at this track in a Grade 5. Goes very well off the draw boasting three wins and two places from six starts. Looks a leading chance.
