Ballarat Race 8 - Alsop And Co Catering (275+Rank)
ELEVATE (2) missed the frame last time when sixth (25.95) at Geelong in a Grade 4/5 but not beaten far the start prior. Key player on best and expected to bounce back. DAD'S SURPRISE (1) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only 2.75 lengths (19.83) at Healesville. Leading chance. HOPE GIBLET (4) is a handy type who notched her 5th career success when too good (22.45) from Box 6 at Geelong. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in her latest win. Expected to measure up again. PADDY'S CHARIOT (7) is a last-start placegetter worth considering.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but swamped late when a close up fourth (19.83) at Healesville over 350m. Should prove hard to beat.

Charged out of the boxes with a fast early split and led throughout to score when a 5.5 lengths winner (22.45) over 400m at Geelong. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.

In the money last time at Warrnambool (25.48) in a Grade 5, finishing a 2.5 lengths third. Has two successes and two minors from six starts from box 7. Looks one of the chances.
