Geelong Race 4 - Grv Distance Racing (0-4 Wins)
MEPUNGA RULE (1) was out of the placings last time but before that was an impressive winner (30.07) in a Grade 7 at The Meadows. Looks suited here and big improvement expected. RADAR O'REILLY (2) is worth forgiving last start after finishing fourth (29.91) in a Mix 6/7 at Sandown over 515m. Likely to be about the money. ASTON MACHINE (6) was prominent early off a low draw but weakened and dropped out when 7th over 525m at The Meadows in Grade 7 company. Yet to score from this box but has never missed the frame in two starts. Can do much better this time. PRINCE VALHALLA (8) placed last time (37.20) at Sale in a Restricted WIN, finishing second and beaten 1.1 lengths. Has two wins already from this draw.

Well fancied last start but could only manage sixth over 525m at The Meadows in 31.36. Had been going well prior to that. Has an inside draw again here. Key chance on his best form.

Last start finished 4th in a Mix 6/7 on April 23 over 515m at Sandown behind Indy Melmen beaten 7 lengths (29.91). Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 525m at The Meadows. Can't recommend against this lot.

Got back last start and could only manage seventh but before that won by 2.75 lengths at The Meadows (30.33) beating Romeo Indy in a Maiden FIN on April 11. Well placed and among the chances here.
