Ballarat Race 7

Eureka Concrete

Stake: $1,652

STELLA ROSE (2) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (22.86) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. TALK BACKS BACK (5) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, the latest scoring at Bendigo over 425m. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings four times from six starts. Can measure up again. IN THEIR HONOUR (1) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, hitting the frame latest when 3rd at Sale over 435m. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings four times from eight starts. Will give a great sight again. NEENA BALE (8) should be thereabouts despite an unplaced run here most recently.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (26.44) in a Grade 5, finishing a 9 length seventh. Has performed well off the draw with a win and two places from six starts. Has ability and should be around the money.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when third (25.92) at big odds over 450m at this track. Drawn out wide but is among the better hopes.
