Ballarat Race 7 - Alsop And Co Catering
GO PIKACHU (1) stalked the lead but wound up strongly to score (25.93) at this track in Grade 5 over 450m. Looks to have an edge on most of these. ASCEND IGLOO (4) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by 1.3 lengths at Shepparton in a handy 25.96 beating Aussie Flame. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Has hit winning form and can go on with it. PATTY'S DREAM (7) was below best latest but did hit the frame in quick time two back when third (29.29) at Bendigo in a Grade 5. Key player on best and worth another try. VINTAGE KING (3) missed the placings here most recently but can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Solid performance after tracking the speed to win by a nose at this track over 450m (25.93) beating Aston Transcend in Grade 5 on April 6. Has hit winning form and can go on with it.

Missed the frame latest (26.42) when fourth over 460m at Geelong in a Rank Limit - Grade 5. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed five times. Will need some luck to feature.

Could only manage sixth last time but the start prior went down fighting at double figure odds when second (24.44) over 425m at Bendigo. Draws an inside box and is worth plenty of thought.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 1.3 lengths over 450m at Shepparton in a handy 25.96, beating Aussie Flame. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in that last win. Stay with him.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when third (29.29) at big odds over 500m at Bendigo. Boxed out wide but can measure up.
