Ballarat Race 8

Alsop And Co Catering

Prize Money: $3,360

BABY BEETS (7) flew the lids with a sensational early split and hit the frame with a 3.5 lengths third (27.21) over 485m at Horsham. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Must come into calculations. HOLDEN BALE (8) is having his first look at this track. Missed the frame last time when 4th and beaten 6 lengths (29.86) at Sandown. Should be thereabouts. COME ON LARRY (1) missed the hat-trick last start when second and beaten a neck (30.41) last time at The Meadows. Form from his last run is proving very strong. Expected to feature again. WHISKY BELLA (2) has strong claims after a top-three finish last time out.

Could only manage second last time out over 525m at The Meadows, breaking a winning sequence. Has plenty of ability strong form emerging from the last run. Looks one of the chances.

Working her way into winning form after her success on May 15 at Bendigo over 500m. Last start was second over 460m in 26.31, behind Lakeview Cindy. Solid chance with even luck.

Placed last time (23.41) at Horsham in a Mix 3/4, finishing third and beaten 2.25 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting four places from six starts. Looks a place chance at best.

Flew the lids with a quick early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (27.21) over 485m at Horsham. Coming out of a very strong form race. Expected to go well.
