Ballarat Race 8 - Eureka Concrete

JUST GOT PAID (1) finished well back at this track last time when a 9 length fifth (31.58) but scored three back at Geelong (26.29). Has a good record here at this journey. Has ability and looks hard to stop. GRAVITY RUSH (8) missed the frame last time when seventh (33.89) at Traralgon but prior to that had two placings in a row. Must be included in calculations. PAW WYLDER (7) took the sit on the lead from an outside box but levelled up and drew clear to score (31.62) at this track in a T3 RSTW over 545m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Has definite claims. MISS SPARKLES (6) boasts a solid strike-rate over this track and distance.

Could only manage fourth last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when second (31.86) over 545m at this track. Draws an inside box and is worth plenty of thought.
