Geelong Race 10 - Sportsbet Geelong Cup Ht6
ASCEND ECSTATIC (1) settled down midfield and held her position to the line when finishing 4th (30.16) at this track. Rates on top in this line up. GENERAL FRANKY (8) boasts a strong record this journey with seven wins and six minors from 14 tries. Placed last time (30.04) at this track in a Grade 4/5, finishing third and beaten 2.75 lengths. With even luck and a clean start should be around the money. HIGHLY CONNECTED (2) shapes well after a swift run last time, finishing second in a OPEN at Angle Park in 30.31. Expecting another bold showing. ABDULLA ZULU (7) has merit but will need to be at his best to take this out.

Racing well without winning, recording four minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when second (30.31) over 530m at Angle Park. Deserves a win and gets his chance.

Charged out of the boxes last time with a fast early sectional but swallowed up late, finishing fourth (29.48) at Sandown and bringing a two run winning streak to an end. Brought a two-run winning streak to an end last time when outside the placings. Worth another try.

Hit the frame last time at Mt Gambier but the start prior was an easy winner after leading throughout, scoring by 6 lengths in a Grade 5 at Mt Gambier and clocking a dazzling 29.29 over the 512m trip. Will need to find best form.

Won two starts back at Sandown over 515m in 29.73. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fourth over 515m at Sandown at SE level. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Flew the lids with a quick early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (30.04) over 520m at this track. Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Expected to be in the finish.
