Ballarat Race 9

Alsop And Co Catering

Stake: $3,510

ASTON FIXER (3) was strongly supported last start when a short priced favourite and duly saluted winning by 2 lengths at Geelong in a handy 26.04. Has a low draw and goes well over this trip. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from three attempts. Can continue on his winning ways. IMITATED (8) scored two back then drifted back and missed the frame latest finishing a 6 length 6th at this track (25.62). Comes through a solid form race last start. Shapes as one to consider. BEELINE (1) missed the frame latest when seventh at Healesville (19.71) but scored four back at Sale (24.27). Bold showing expected. DAVE (7) is a last-start placegetter who is in the mix again.

Has finished seventh at the last two runs, both at Healesville, the latest when beaten 9 lengths behind Mumma Easy over 350m. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 400m at Geelong. Thereabouts last start but looks tested this time.

Having his first run at this track. Comes off an average run last start over 500m at Bendigo when sixth behind Canya Talk Now (28.60) in Grade 5. Will need to improve to feature.

Hit the frame latest (25.49) when second at this track in a Grade 5. Box stats strong with four wins and two placings from nine starts. Looks one of the chances.
