Geelong Race 7

Melbourne Container Park (250+ Rank)

Prize Money: $1,530

BRONZE (3) turned in a better effort at this track last start, finishing third behind Aston Haruto (26.59) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5. Stalked the pace but found the line strongly. Leading chance again. BIG DUKE (2) was unwanted in betting last start but proved too quick with an all-the-way win over 460m at Warragul in a Grade 5, scoring by one length (26.46). Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Should be in this for a long way. PHINEAS NIGELLUS (8) was safely held last time out, finishing eighth at this track over 460m behind Little Flower (26.82) in a Rank Limit - Grade 5. Leading chance. ASTON EXCLUSIVE (1) is not to be discarded.

Won two starts back over 425m at Bendigo. Last start he finished 4th in a Special conditions race on April 5 over 425m at Bendigo behind Strop beaten 5.5 lengths (24.17). Draw likely to suit. Has ability and worth including.

Good performance to win by one length at Warragul over 460m (26.46) beating Yorkshire Girl in Grade 5 on April 9. Should be prominent.

Could only manage fifth last time but the start prior hit the frame when second (22.54) over 390m at Warrnambool. Tricky draw to overcome but is worth plenty of thought.

Didn't finish two back and couldn't make the frame last time when he finished last over 460m at this track beaten 15 lengths (26.82) behind Little Flower in a Rank Limit - Grade 5 on April 7. Last couple have been below par. Deserves another chance.
