Geelong Race 4

LARA MOON (4) hit the ground running and was prominent to the turn but faded out of it when 5th at Ballarat in Grade 5 company. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Has winning claims on her best figures. ASTON PASTIZZI (6) used the rails draw to advantage to get home last time at Ballarat over 390m (22.36) after forging to the front and leading throughout, scoring by a nose. Bold showing expected again. ASTON MORIALTA (8) has an excellent record over this course and distance having never missed the placings in three starts, including two wins. Below best last time at Ballarat (22.45) in a Grade 5, finishing a 5.5 lengths fifth. Looks suited here and can measure up. ZIPPING BERKELEY (1) cannot be left out despite racing here for the first time.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when second (22.98) over 400m at The Gardens. Has a solid winning strike rate off the inside draw and can measure up.

Was out of placings last time (23.60) at Warragul in a Grade 5, finishing sixth and beaten 7 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting one victory and five places from 10 starts. Will need some luck to feature.

Missed the frame latest (26.37) when fifth over 450m at Shepparton in a Special conditions Veteran race. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and five minors. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.

Solid performance to win by a nose at Ballarat over 390m (22.36) beating Paw Rival in Grade 5 on September 16. Has a fast 22.59 PB at this course and distance. Hard to beat.

Didn't make the placings last time at Warrnambool (25.88) in a Grade 5, finishing a 5.5 lengths fourth. Has never missed the frame from four starts from the draw, including a win. Tough line-up and may struggle.
