Geelong Race 1 - Betfocus Pace
FICTION FILE (5) has her hoof on the till after placing in her last three outings, last week coming from the back row to finish runner-up at Ballarat. Goes well at this distance with a win and two placings from three attempts. Can break through. A wide draw poses more of a challenge for JANIEBQUICK (7) but her form is hard to knock having put together a string of placings before leading to score at Melton last week. If things go her way she could strike again. CALEDONIAN RANGER (4) has been freshened since he missed by just a head last start at Warragul. Go well. MONSIEUR FLAMEL (3) draws well and could be close to a win after back-to-back placings, the latest from a wider barrier at Cranbourne.

Didn't do much last start, 9th (Fr4) over 1800m after showing early speed and racing wide at Globe Derby Park, beaten 50 m by The Reginator (2:10.70) on June 27 at $21. Before that 4th (Fr2) over 1800m after showing early pace at Globe Derby Park was leading by 0.8 at the bell, beaten 4.5 m by My Rocky Romance (2:12.00) on June 24 at $3.60. Must improve sharply.

Solid performance when a close second after a quick start, behind Mikispur at Cranbourne over 2080m on July 5 at $12. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third behind Arzali Rockstar at Ballarat over 1710m on July 9 at $13. Nicely drawn and could measure up again.

In good form. Last start won by 4 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr1) at Melton (2:04.50) beating Bettorsweetvictory in on July 10 at $1.70 at the bell was leading 2.2. Draws wide but with even luck she can continue the good form.
