Geelong Race 8 - The Golden Hawk

LITTLE FLOWER (2) was strongly supported last start when a short priced favourite and duly saluted winning by 6 lengths at this track in a handy 25.75. Draws to advantage and likes the trip. Has a very good strike-rate from this draw, with two wins from five starts. Expected to be right there at the finish again. BABY BEETS (6) used the inside draw to advantage last time and hit the ground running with a fast early split, paving the way for a 4.5 lengths win at Warrnambool over 450m in 25.45. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Shapes as a top winning chance on latest effort. VOLTAGE STRIKE (1) turned in a fair 5th placed finish last time at Ballarat over 545m (31.26). Has performed well from this box with a win and four minor placings to his name from nine starts. Expected to feature in the finish. MEPUNGA EXPRESS (7) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start.

Was out of placings last time (31.26) at Ballarat in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 2.75 lengths. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minors. Looks well placed and should feature.

Has been in a purple patch of form, putting three wins back-to-back. Had plenty of support last start when she won comfortably by 6 lengths at this track (25.75) beating Jungle Fireball in a Rank Limit - Grade 5 on April 7. Flying lately and can score again.

Missed the frame last start when a 19 length eighth (31.50) at this track. Previous form sound including a win three back at this track. Looks a danger to the top few if returns to best form this time.
