Geelong Race 7 - Tech At Home Geelong Pace
MOUNT BARKER BOY (6) is a lightly raced but progressive colt who has won both starts off year-long spell. Overcame a second row draw to strike first up before leading to score well last time at Melton. Draws wider but can continue to work through his grades. FICTION FILE (2) hasn't been seen since the Vicbred Super Series Final in November but was readied with two trials, winning the latest. Her lone win came the only time she attempted this distance. Can be competitive from an ideal draw. BAKERS BANDIT (4) has had four weeks off must be considered after placing in his last three outings. GIDGETT KAY (3) won on debut before a midfield finish behind MOUNT BARKER BOY last start. Draws lower so is a first four hope.

Resuming after a spell of five months. Finished off last preparation when well beaten into eighth behind Arrhythmia at Melton over 2240m in a 2yo G2 No NR F on November 22 at $34. Draws well so a bold showing is expected.

Failed to impress last start; was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr5) over 2150m at Bendigo, beaten 15 m by Mount Barker Boy (2:35.30) in 3yo 10 0K on March 25 at $18. Showed ability the race before when she posted a big 4 m win (Fr5) at Menangle (1:54.90) beating Mickey Be Nimble in 3yo+ 0LTW so eligible 3yo+ NR47 on February 10 at $3.90. Drawn favourably and worth another chance.

Good run when beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Lord Verde at this track over 2100m in a NR 48 to 52 on March 13 at $4.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Starzinhereyes at Ballarat over 2200m in a NR 48 to 52 on March 19 at $4.80. Go well again.

Three-year-old colt is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at Melton and Bendigo. Last start won by 2.75 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr2) at Melton (2:43.00) beating Keayang Passion in 3yo No NR on April 10 at $1.08 at the bell was leading 2.47. Promising and can strike again.
