Ballarat Race 4 - Eureka Concrete
ASTON FRANCESCA (8) doesn't have the best strike-rate. Finished in the minors latest when third (22.70) at this track and may be close to breaking through. Form here at the trip sound including two wins. Capable of going well again. SMILING LILY (1) has been hard to follow lately, running fourth (22.89) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. Can improve sharply here. TINKER DOT (2) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (22.58) at this track behind Busting in a Grade 5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Expected to feature. BUSH BIG SHOW (3) is a last-start placegetter who should be thereabouts.
