Ballarat Race 5 - Alsop And Co Catering
CHEVRON STROLL (6) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (22.93) last time in a Grade 5 at Geelong. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. PHOENIX TAN (5) comes off an average performance last start when seventh at Bendigo over 425m behind Paw Estrella (24.75) in a Mix 3/4. Was in the money the start prior. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. DID SO (1) finds it hard to win. Hit the board with a minor placing last time when second (26.14) at Geelong. Expected to be in this for a long way. MAGIC BULLSEYE (8) is among the chances again if he runs up to the latest effort.

Good effort to win last start by 10 lengths over 425m at Bendigo in a handy (24.05), beating Smiling Bee. Will find this a bit tougher, needs to find a bit more.
