Geelong Race 6 - Hoyts Food Geelong Rocket Pace

FIGHTER COMMAND (7) made a winning return from a six-month spell two back at Melton before being edged out by a smart one last start. Draws wider but won the only time he raced here and should be fit now having recorded three wins and a placing from four previous third-up attempts. BEACH DIAMOND (6) was one of the leading three-year-old fillies of last season and went to the paddock off a string of top-two finishes, highlighted by wins in the Breeders Crown and Vicbred finals. Won her lone try at this distance and is yet to taste defeat in three fresh attempts. She should be ready to fire again off two trial placings. MY ULTIMATE BARNEY (5) added to his consistent form when he came from the back row for fourth in the Riverina Championships final last start. Runner-up from this barrier three back at Melton and races well at this distance. JUSTALITTLESIP NZ (4) has been solid at his last couple and is proven at the distance. First four hope.

Didn't do much last time out, was well back in the run when 6th (Fr6) over 1650m at Bendigo was 4th-4.76 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Lougle (1:57.70) in 0W/15 0K stake on April 8 at $34. Before that failed to finish when he ran at Melton on February 21 over 2240m. This looks far too tough.

Back in form at the last couple of outings, two starts back won by 2 m when driven back in the field, (Fr5) held up early, at Melton (1:59.00) beating Bulletproof Boy in No NR on March 21 at $4.20 at the bell was 4th-5.35. Last start just missed, solid effort despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr5) over 2240m at Melton beaten a neck by Bulletproof Boy (2:45.60) in No NR on April 4 at $2.60. Has returned in fine form and may prove hard to stop.
