Ballarat Race 5 - Eureka Concrete (1-2 Wins)
THUNDERING THEO (1) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fourth (25.88) in a Bottom Up - Restricted Win at Warrnambool. Can make amends. BOOTLEG TOMMY (2) has a strong record this journey here with two wins and a minor from six starts. Missed the frame latest (24.36) when fifth over 425m at Bendigo in a Mix 6/7. Can hit the frame with the right run. DASHING DEREK (3) was strongly fancied and drifted back but wound up hard to hit the frame, 4 lengths from the winner (22.51) at Warrnambool in Bottom Up - Grade 6. Has a solid record from this box including two wins and a minor placing. Winning chance. RINGSTED (7) placed last time out so worth considering.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished 4th in a Bottom Up - Restricted Win on May 11 over 450m at Warrnambool behind Paw Irulan beaten 5.5 lengths (25.88). More than capable and well placed to find his best form.
