Geelong Race 5 - HorseTips.com.au (275+Rank)
JUST BELIEVE (8) box seated before sticking on well to finish 8 lengths away in third (22.91) at this track in a Grade 5 over 400m. Makes plenty of appeal. JAMES'S ENTITY (2) struggled in tougher grade last start after settling off pace at this track, but prior to that won by 0.9 lengths at this track (22.81) beating Cruisin' Grae in a Grade 5 on October 13. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Deserves plenty of respect. CRACKERJACK GREG (6) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (22.47) at Ballarat behind Fred's Fury in a Rank Limit - Grade 5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Expected to be in the finish again. LARA MOON (7) generally performs well here at this distance.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and tends to spot them a start in her races, The latest effort was a 11 length eighth over 390m at Shepparton. Not up to this.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (23.26) in a Rank Limit - Grade 5, finishing a 12 length sixth. Has four successes and five minors from 17 starts from box 2. Key chance and should go close.

Backs up after winning easily by 3.5 lengths at Traralgon (20.40) beating Fire Up Mark in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 on November 4 six days ago. This is much harder assignment and she needs to find another gear.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when second (22.80) over 400m at this track. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Looks to have the job ahead.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (22.59) over 390m at Ballarat. Has a wide draw to navigate and prefer the place this line-up.
