Ballarat Race 7 - Alsop And Co Catering
LEKTRA BETA (1) scored two back when on speed but last start drifted back and could manage only a 6 length 4th at this track (25.51). Some good form is emerging from his last run. Has claims if he runs up to expectations. GRAY GROUPER (2) failed to feature last start after missing the jump at Bendigo, but prior to that won by 1.4 lengths at Bendigo (24.19) beating It's Bubble Time in a Grade 5 on October 2. One of the main contenders. MR. JONES (3) can keep on winning after fast last start success, claiming a Grade 5 at Warrnambool over 450m in 25.35. In form and must include in calculations. PAW CHRISTIE (8) scored in dominant fashion last time. Must be respected.

Solid performance to post a big 3.5 lengths win at Warrnambool over 450m (25.35) beating Aston Cosmic in Grade 5 on October 8. Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.

Improved sharply when second behind Scott Lylah at Healesville last start over 300m (16.66). Gets back so might need a bit of luck.

Having his first run at Ballarat. Comes off an average run last start over 410m at Horsham when sixth behind Barooga King (23.87) in Mix 3/4. Not doing enough to be considered.

Hit the ground running last time with a fast early split and never headed, leading throughout to win by 4 lengths (28.10) over 500m at Bendigo. Solid showing expected.
