Ballarat Race 3 - Alsop And Co Catering
MANTIS BALE (2) filled a minor placing last start at Horsham behind Tokyo Romance (23.77) in a Mix 6/7. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Can go on with it. MR. JONES (1) did a good job to finish second last time out over 390m at Shepparton (22.40) in a T3 Grade 7, the second top-three finish on the trot. Expected to bounce back to best. TRUST IN PROCESS (8) last appeared when too good (34.58) over 595m at Sandown on March 16. Has not been seen since finishing second (34.58) over 595m at Sandown on March 16. Has never been out of the money in four starts this course. Looks well placed here and has the ability. Go well. SO SO GOOD (3) is one of the chances after collecting a minor prize last time.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish second (22.40) at Shepparton over 390m. Close to the speed and boxed on well at the latest run. Key chance again.

Turned in a good run last time, placing (23.77) at Horsham in a Mix 6/7. Lines up from box 2 for the first time. Makes strong appeal.

In the placings last start over 410m at Horsham before a break of nine weeks. Has ability and worth plenty of thought.

Backs up after winning by 1.75 lengths at Warrnambool (22.35) beating Priority Report in a Mix 6/7 on July 2 six days ago. Likely to find this a lot tougher and he needs to find another gear.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fifth last time out over 300m at Healesville. Tempted to look elsewhere.

Missed the frame latest (20.99) when fifth over 350m at Traralgon in a Restricted WIN. Has two placings from four starts from the draw. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.

Hit the ground running with a fast early sectional but found one better when runner up over 595m at Sandown clocking 34.58. The form from the last run stacks up nicely. Worth following up.
