Ballarat Race 5 - Eureka Concrete

IMITATED (7) was strong over this course and distance last time despite filling the minors, finishing 1.75 lengths behind Blackpool Winter in 25.36 and recording a new PB here. Going well and rates on top. OHTANI FORCE (1) ran below best last time finishing sixth (22.79) over 390m at this track from Box 7. Boasts a strong record from this draw with two wins and two minor placings from four starts. Should be thereabouts. BIG TIME GUNNAR (8) has been in super consistent form recently with two minors on end before missing the frame latest finishing fourth (25.75) at this track. Has a good record at this journey. Leading chance. ZIPPING SMEE (6) is on a run of two minor placings and is sure to play a big role again.

Could manage only sixth last time but turned heads the start prior when he clocked a hot 16.65 over 300m finishing third at Healesville. Rates a top chance with a repeat here.
