Sportsbet Geelong Cup Ht2

Prize Money: $7,325

NEVER EVER LATE (8) stuck on well last time to finish 1.4 lengths back in second (29.94) at this track in a Grade 4/5 over 520m. Sure to be about the mark. SHIMA BLUSH (1) ran good time (34.25) winning a Grade 4/5 three back at The Meadows but missed the frame latest finishing fifth at this track. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. TRIPPED OUT (2) could not have been more impressive last start in his a brilliant 29.32 win at Sandown over 515m. Top win latest and rates a key player again. PAW LOVISA (3) scored last time and appeals as a top-three prospect.

Eye-catching performance showing plenty of speed to score by 2.25 lengths in a SE last start at Sandown, recording an excellent 29.32 over the 515m journey. Expected to go close again if runs up to latest time.

Impressive performance leading throughout to post a big 3.5 lengths victory in a Grade 5 last start at Sandown, recording an exceptional 29.32 over the 515m journey. Should be in this for a long way.

Good effort to win last start by 2 lengths over 600m at The Meadows in a handy (34.69), beating Texas President. Will find this a bit tougher, this will test.

Found the going tougher last start when third over 460m at this track. That followed a win two back in 26.04 beating Shade Of Pale over 460m at this track. Others read better.
