Geelong Race 7 - Melbourne Container Park (250+ Rank)
BRONZE (3) turned in a better effort at this track last start, finishing third behind Aston Haruto (26.59) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5. Stalked the pace but found the line strongly. Leading chance again. BIG DUKE (2) was unwanted in betting last start but proved too quick with an all-the-way win over 460m at Warragul in a Grade 5, scoring by one length (26.46). Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Should be in this for a long way. PHINEAS NIGELLUS (8) was safely held last time out, finishing eighth at this track over 460m behind Little Flower (26.82) in a Rank Limit - Grade 5. Leading chance. ASTON EXCLUSIVE (1) is not to be discarded.

Won two starts back over 425m at Bendigo. Last start he finished 4th in a Special conditions race on April 5 over 425m at Bendigo behind Strop beaten 5.5 lengths (24.17). Draw likely to suit. Has ability and worth including.

Good performance to win by one length at Warragul over 460m (26.46) beating Yorkshire Girl in Grade 5 on April 9. Should be prominent.

Could only manage fifth last time but the start prior hit the frame when second (22.54) over 390m at Warrnambool. Tricky draw to overcome but is worth plenty of thought.

Didn't make the placings last time at Ballarat (25.96) in a Restricted WIN, finishing a 6 length seventh. Placed at all two starts from this draw. Will need some luck to feature.

Latest effort finished 4th over 525m at The Meadows beaten 3 lengths (30.83) behind Paw Quiver in a Grade 5 on March 25. The form out of the last run measures up. Among the chances.

Didn't finish two back and couldn't make the frame last time when he finished last over 460m at this track beaten 15 lengths (26.82) behind Little Flower in a Rank Limit - Grade 5 on April 7. Last couple have been below par. Deserves another chance.
