Ballarat Race 2 - Alsop And Co Catering (275+Rank)
MYSTIC CONTESSA (8) jumped cleanly and went straight to the lead, holding on for a place when third (22.38) at Shepparton in a Maiden H over 390m. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Ready to find winning form. CORNHILL SCOUT (1) pinged the lids and was in the firing line early but drifted out of it when 7th at Bendigo in Rank Limit - Maiden company. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. In the mix. CLAVICLE (2) slotted in just off the lead from the wide draw last start and boxed on to finish third (22.81) at Warrnambool in a Maiden over 390m. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Well placed and gets his chance. RAPID WATERBOY (7) with some luck can improve on an unplaced run last time here.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 7th on April 18 over 425m at Bendigo behind Blame Margaret beaten 13 lengths (24.99) in a Rank Limit - Maiden. Placed two back at Shepparton. The form from last run stacks up well. Hard to beat.

Disappointed last time but just missed the placings two back over 350m at Healesville. Looks tested in this company.

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (22.38) at Shepparton over 390m. Solid formlines coming through that last run. Looks a major player.
