Geelong Race 7 - Apco Weve Got You Pace

RUEBE STARBUCK (5) came from the back row when she kicked off her campaign with a Cranbourne win and drew there again when edged out by a head last week. Suited returning to the front line and drops to a distance where she has won two of three attempts. DANCE AFFAIR (8) had no luck fresh but was good when he led and scored by 3.6 metres at this circuit last start. That made it two from two at this distance and he draws for a trail so can keep the ball rolling. MY LITTLE BO (7) was down the track in a NSW Oaks heat last start but was a winner two back at Bendigo and has yet to miss a place in four tries at this distance, winning twice. POPCORNFRIDAY (4) can feature again off a second here last time.

Last start was well back in the run when 8th (Fr3) over 2150m after being wide early at Bendigo beaten 10 m by The Answer (2:37.90) in NR 58 to 64 on May 14 at $81. Before that, 10th (Fr4) over 1720m after showing early speed and racing wide at Melton beaten 35 m by Royal Division (2:00.90) in NR 60 to 72 on May 3 at $17. Certainly worth another chance.

Two back was well beaten into eleventh after a quick start, behind Le Belle Bijoux at Melton over 1720m in a NR up to 79 M on May 3 at $34. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Major Drama at Ballarat over 2200m in a NR 50 to 55 on May 22 at $5.50. Rates highly and is well-placed to take this out.

Failed to impress last start; 10th (Fr6) over 2300m at Menangle, beaten 45 m by Ruby Rules (2:44.90) in 3yo No NR F on May 3 at $10. Showed ability the outing before when she ran on from midfield and won by 4 m as favourite (Sr1) at Bendigo (1:56.80) beating Sir Sonny Maguire in NR 50 to 55 on April 16 at $2.50 at the bell was 3rd-4.3m 2WNC. Better than the last effort suggest.
