Geelong Race 4 - Apco We've Got You Pace
THE FINAL DANCE (5) kicked off the Emma Stewart barn with a dominant win at Ballarat two back then started a hot favourite again last time but nothing went to plan. Much better than that and he returns to the front row so can atone. BLUE MIKI (3) finished second last start at Ballarat, beaten 2.3 metres, after also filling a minor placing at the previous appearance. No excuses from this advantageous draw so could give this a shake. CALEDONIAN TERRA (2) has been thereabouts of late and is a chance to break through after a good effort last time out when fourth at Cranbourne. The ace draw gives BETTORPATCHMEUP (1) every chance to continue his good form.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after a quick start, behind Le Cardinal at Terang over 2180m on May 18 at $10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second behind Kimchi at Maryborough over 1690m on June 29 at $8. Drawn to advantage and expected to go well again.

Last start was well beaten into ninth behind Shiffrin at this track over 1609m on July 3 at $1.75. Performed better the start before where he won by 18 m as favourite (Fr6) at Ballarat (2:01.10) beating Arzali Rockstar in on June 11 at $1.40 at the bell was leading 8.19. No luck last start but can return to the winner's stall.
