Geelong (H) Race 2

Hoyts Food Nmw Pace

Prize Money: $15,000

GUNFORHIRE (9) looks close to a win. Beaten only 2.8m when runner-up at Melton two runs ago before coming from this row for a 1.6m second at his latest appearance at Terang. Has won here before and has the ability to test this field. SEA FURY NZ (3) resumes after three-and-a-half months having ended last campaign with a series of wins of placings. Strikes at 50 per cent when fresh and was readied with a trial win. Likely to get the favours from this nice draw. Big chance. FERRIGNO (8) has been solid from some tricky barriers of late. Draws for a trail this time and owns a decent record at this distance. RANGER RICK NZ (4) deserves respect after coming from the second line for third at Terang last time out.

Returns from the paddock. Previously first up won by 1.5 m (Fr6) at Maryborough (2:01.60) beating Highlandhartbreaka in on February 11 at $3.60. Draws well and can continue the good form from last campaign.

Two back was well beaten into eighth after showing early speed, behind Captain Pins at Charlton over 2100m on August 17 at $3.90. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Gold In Paris at Terang over 2180m on August 30 at $6. One of the chances.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Sr1) over 2240m at Melton, at the bell was 7th-8.79 beaten 15 m by Hitch To His Star (2:43.10) on September 5 at $34. Showed ability the run before when she tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a head when quickly away, (Fr7) at Ballarat (2:03.90) beating Kiss Me Mini in on August 26 at $6.50 at the bell was 2nd-2.35. Rates well on best form and worth including.

Didn't do much at the last run, was well back in the run when 6th (Fr5) over 2240m at Melton, beaten 20 m by Hitch To His Star (2:43.10) on September 5 at $151. Before that was well back in the run when 10th (Fr3) over 1720m after showing early speed and racing wide at Melton beaten 17 m by The Naked Art (2:01.20) on August 29 at $71. Not enthused.

Solid performance when beaten by 2.75 m finishing second behind I Am The Storm at Melton over 2240m on August 22 at $6. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Gold In Paris at Terang over 2180m on August 30 at $2.60. Close to a win.
