Geelong Race 8 - Topcat Video Productions (275+Rank)
STILL BELIEVE (7) settled back from out wide but wound up hard into the minor money, finishing 4.5 lengths from the winner (22.70) at this track in Grade 5. Goes very well from this draw with two wins and two minor placings from five starts. Can find winning form. SIMPLY PETITE (3) hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 1.3 lengths second over 400m at this track, clocking 22.91. Expected to be in this for a long way. MORE BEER PLEASE (8) turned in a fair 5th placed finish last time at Healesville over 300m (16.93). The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Key runner on best form. KADE'S THUNDER (2) is last start winner who looks one of the chances.

Has finished fifth at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 12 lengths behind Crackerjack Kev over 400m. Likely to find this too tough.

Good effort to win last start by 2 lengths over 390m at Ballarat in a handy (22.13), beating Where's Mick. Racing well and can win again.

Showed strong pace early but found one better when a 1.3 lengths second over 400m this track in 22.91. Boxed on well to finish runner-up last time. Leading player.

Was out of the placings at final run of last campaign, finishing seventh (21.11) at Healesville before going for a 12 weeks spell. Has had two fresh up runs and has recorded the one placing. Others make more appeal.

Hit the frame latest (22.70) when third at this track in a Grade 5. Strong record off the draw with two wins and two minors from five starts. Looks a key chance on best form.
