Ballarat Race 7 - Eureka Concrete
ACQUISITION (1) made light work of a wide draw last time with a slick early sectional but gathered in and had to settle for the minors, finishing third (25.38) at this track over 450m. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Overdue and is among the main hopes. NOVA OWEN (7) stalked the pace from a low draw last start and fought on well to finish 3.5 lengths away in third (25.26) at Warrnambool in a Mix 6/7 over 450m. Leading player again. BONA VISTA (8) broke a string of placings finishing in the money two on end before a last start fourth (22.35) at this track. Has never been out of the money in five starts this distance. Has never been out of the placings from two starts out of this box. Likely to play a prominent role. WHO ME (2) has definite claims at his first try at this circuit.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 3.5 lengths third at Warrnambool but did record a brilliant 25.26 for the 450m trip. Has the ability and expected to go close again.
