Geelong Race 8 - Melbourne Container Park

ASCEND ECSTATIC (2) scored two back then well held latest finishing a 9 length 7th at Wentworth Park (30.20). Consistent performer from this draw with a win and five minor placings to her credit. Key runner on her best form. NEVER EVER LATE (1) is a last start placegetter off the inside draw (29.70) at Mt Gambier, finishing third and beaten 2.75 lengths. Yet to fire here from two runs. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and six minor placings to his credit. Expected to feature again. SPARRING (3) goes very well this trip starting 17 times for eight wins and two minors. Missed the frame latest (30.09) when fourth over 525m at The Meadows in a Free For All. Looks suited here and can measure up. SHIMA BLUSH (8) cannot be overlooked following a recent top-three finish.

In the money last time at Mt Gambier (29.70) in a OPEN, finishing a 2.75 lengths third. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and six minors. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Was well supported last time and gave a sight after a strong early split but weakened late to finish a 2 length fourth (30.09) over 525m at The Meadows. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.
