Geelong (G) Race 4

Pink Diamond Champion Short Course Ht3

Prize Money: $3,360

MEPUNGA SAGE (8) was a last start winner (22.16) at this track who is building a strong winning record. Goes very well at the trip finding the frame in each of three starts. Winner at her latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Looks to have an edge on most of these. LOCHINVAR THOR (1) is having his first start around this course. Missed the frame last time when 4th and beaten 5 lengths (25.68) at Shepparton. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Has the ability to give this a shake. COME AND SEE (4) placed last time (22.40) at this track in a Free For All, finishing second and beaten 1.75 lengths. Has six wins already from this draw. Looks a key chance on best figures. STOJANOVIC (7) will give backers a sight.

Latest effort finished 4th on May 18 over 450m at Shepparton behind Gold Tag beaten 5 lengths (25.68) in a Grade 5 FIN. The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (30.38) at big odds over 525m at The Meadows. Drawn a inside box but will need a little luck to feature.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 4 length fifth (26.29) over 460m at this track. Thereabouts last time others preferred this line-up.

Was out of placings last time (25.50) at Ballarat in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 8 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.

Easy winner leading throughout to score by 9 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at this track, recording a lightning 22.16 for the 400m journey. Expected to go close again if runs up to latest time.
