Geelong Race 6 - Apco Geelong Pacing Cup
MINOS NZ (5) resumes off July's Inter Dominion series where he won a heat and missed narrowly in another before his fourth in the final. Hasn't missed a place in four fresh attempts, winning twice, and has been readied with two nice trials. Should get his chance from the front row draw. SWAYZEE (9) makes his first appearance since his NZ mission in the autumn where he placed in all four outings. Cops a second row draw but races well fresh and was readied with three trials. Class can carry him a long way. BULLETPROOF BOY (2) has come from the back row to place in both starts since a spell. He'll be nearing his peak and is well served by this draw. SIR JIMMY (8) is a first four hope with even luck.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Fighter Command at Melton over 1720m on August 22 at $6.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second behind Triple Eight at Melton over 2240m on August 29 at $1.80. Close to a win and gets his chance from this draw.

Has been racing well this preparation and showed plenty of improvement following August 29 run. Last start won by 4.5 m when driven back in the field, (Fr5) held up early, at this track (2:31.70) beating Clymenus in on September 11 at $7 at the bell was leading 0.83. This race will be harder than that win. Not here.

Returns after 11 weeks in the paddock. Finished off last preparation when well beaten into fourth behind Captains Mistress in the Inter Dominion Final at Albion Park over 2680m on July 18 at $8.50. Previous preparation first-up won by 1.75 m (Sr2) at Gloucester Park (2:35.00) beating Rakero Raider in 4yo+ on January 23 at $6.50. A front row draws gives him the chance to make a winning return.

Racing consistently with minor placings at his last two starts. Placed last start 3rd (Sr4) over 2240m after being wide early at Melton, at the bell was 2nd-5.06 beaten 8 m by Fighter Command (2:39.50) on September 26 at $7. Before that was well back in the run when 2nd (Fr4) over 1720m at Melton was 6th-8.72 at the bell, beaten 1.75 m by Smoken Ace (1:58.30) in G3 on September 12 at $14. Wouldn't shock to see him in the first four again.
