Ballarat Race 8 - Alsop And Co Catering

FLASH OF GENIUS (4) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame last run (30.67) at The Meadows. Leading chance again. MAKE THEM CRY (2) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at Wentworth Park over 520m behind Jungle Johnny (29.79) in a NG. Was in the money prior to that. One of the main contenders. VOLTAGE STRIKE (7) finished third last start over 545m at this track but was game in defeat in a quick 30.87. Has the ability and looks a key chance. BALDING SANDY (1) has claims again if she runs up to the latest effort.

Good effort to win last start by a neck over 485m at Horsham in a handy (27.69), beating Dynamite Eric. In winning form and can measure up again.

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 2.75 lengths third (30.32) over 525m at The Meadows. More than capable and has to be included.
