Geelong Race 2 - Apco We've Got You Pace
THE FINAL DANCE (8) got the job done in impressive style in his first outing for Emma Stewart last start, working to the front before going on to score by 18.5 metres at Ballarat. Drawn to enjoy an economical run and the sprint lane is in play. Can go through his grades. SHIFFRIN (10) overcame a similar draw to this at her latest appearance when she scored by 4.4 metres at this circuit and distance. Has some upside and should perform well again. JANIEBQUICK (6) is a player again having recorded a third straight placing with a respectable third at her most recent appearance at Melton. TALKBABYTALK (5) eases back a little in grade on the last two attempts and had recorded a string of top-two results prior.

Good performance when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Shiffrin at this track over 1609m on June 19 at $3.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Some High at Melton over 2240m on June 26 at $41. Has been close to breaking through and should go well again.
