Ballarat Race 9 - Alsop And Co Catering
HEAVY HAULAGE (1) finished fifth last time at Healesville but could not have been more impressive a few runs back in his brilliant 25.74 win at Warragul over 460m. Should be in this for a long way. COMMANCHE JACK (2) comes into this a big winner last time in quick time, scoring by 6 lengths (21.74) at this track. Form at the trip sound including five wins. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. One of main contenders. OUR PATCH (6) was well in the market last time but only managed fourth (22.29), beaten 8 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. The form out of his last race has been franked. Worth following up. MR. KIA ORA (3) should be thereabouts.

Has finished in the placings at last two, the latest when third (22.29) over 390m at this track. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Looks tested in this line-up.
