Ballarat Race 8 - Eureka Concrete

SO HE THINKS (2) was below best last time when fifth at Sandown but prior to that among the placings in quick time (30.87) at this track. Looks suited here and big improvement expected. TAW MAJOR (1) is having his first look at this course. Missed the frame last time when 4th and beaten 10 lengths (42.45) at Wentworth Park. The form out of his last race has been franked. Can measure up this time. DOONGALLA GHOST (3) led throughout to score two back then drifted back and missed the frame latest finishing a 2 length 4th at The Meadows (30.83). Shapes as one to consider. VOLTAGE STRIKE (7) must be included in calculations.

Going well prior to a break but was a little below best when resuming, finishing seventh in 26.27 over 460m at Geelong. Overall winning strike-rate moderate but rarely far away. Harder here and place looks best.
