Geelong Race 5 - Bellarine Lakes Country Club Pace (1St Heat)
BINALONG NIGHT (4) led from similar draws to this when recording back-to-back wins last month and was good again when second last start, coming from wider to be beaten 5 metres at Ballarat. Strong claims. REALLY REALLY (7) has had four runs this campaign without filling a placing but each of those was from a back row draw and there was some improvement in the last-start fourth. His lone win came at this venue. CALEDONIAN TERRA (1) gets his lowest draw since leading to score at Mt Gambier in February and is a four-time winner at this circuit and distance. ANOTHER WOODS (6) broke last time but could measure up with manners and even luck.

Didn't do much last time out, 8th (Fr3) over 2150m after racing wide at Bendigo, beaten 70 m by Insider Trading (2:36.70) in NR up to 50 on April 1 at $151. Before that hung in on scoring up, 10th (Fr7) over 1720m at Melton, beaten 55 m by Janiebquick (2:04.30) in NR up to 45 on March 6 at $101. Not keen.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Im Wesley at Cranbourne over 1609m in a NR 47 to 52 on March 29 at $11. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Muselet at Ballarat over 2200m in a NR 49 to 52 on April 9 at $34. May prove hard to beat.
