Ballarat Race 8 - Alsop And Co Catering
PAW ORTIZ (3) ran below best last time finishing fifth (25.87) over 450m at this track from Box 8. Rates on top in this line up. ASTON GRANDEUR (7) had won two in a row before finishing fifth (26.16) last time at Geelong. Has never been out of the money in three starts this course. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Better than last start and can bounce back. MARCO MARCO (2) has some solid form under his belt and proved too strong last time to win by a neck at Warrnambool in a handy 25.49 beating Whodat Jewel. Deserves serious consideration again.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fifth last time out over 400m at Geelong. Looks up against it this time.

Good effort to win last start by a neck over 450m at Warrnambool in a handy (25.49), beating Whodat Jewel. Has the ability to be in the finish.

Was strongly supported last time but ran below expectations when fifth over 450m at this track in 25.87. Forgive that last start failure.

Backs up after winning by a long neck at Warrnambool (22.12) beating Galba Stacey in a Grade 5 on August 27 six days ago. Likely to find this a lot tougher and he needs to find another gear.

Hit the frame latest (25.63) when third at Warrnambool in a Grade 5. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Geelong over 400m. Last start finished 5th on August 28 over 460m at Geelong behind Canya Tornado beaten 8 lengths (26.16) in a Grade 5. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.
