Ballarat Race 8 - Alsop And Co Catering
STILL BELIEVE (8) finished second last time (22.51) at Geelong after winning at her previous two outings. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Top chance in this line up. FLYING MUFFIN (6) was in the minors two back (19.50) at Healesville but ran below best last time at Warragul, finishing 8th. Should play a prominent role. ASTON HEDLAND (2) finished well back at Geelong last time when a 5 length fifth (26.23) but scored four back at Geelong (26.03). Can measure up this time. LEKTRA SKIP (1) will have admirers after placing last time out.

Backs up after finishing 5th on March 14 over 525m at The Meadows in a Grade 5. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.

Hit the frame last time at Geelong but the start prior was an eye-catching winner after leading throughout, scoring by 2.25 lengths in a Rank Limit - Grade 6 at Geelong. Rates on top and can find winning form again.
