Geelong Race 1 - Betfocus Pace
ARZALI ROCKSTAR (7) turned in another strong performance last start when she led and battled on well but found one better, beaten 1.3m. That made it back-to-back seconds at Melton so the hoof is on the till. Draws wider but can break through with even luck. YANKEE RAIN (10) led and showed great determination to score by a head at her latest appearance at Horsham, making it back-to-back wins. May need an ounce of luck from the back row but if it comes her way she has the talent to collect the prize again. VIVA STORM (6) was solid at her most recent appearance at Kilmore and has won at this distance before. SPUN SILVER (5) disappointed last time but had recorded a string of wins or placings prior so is worth another chance.

Resuming after six-and-a-half months off the scene. Finished off last campaign recording a big 6 m win as favourite when quickly away, (Fr5) at Stawell (2:11.30) beating Zwick in on April 3 at $2.25 at the bell was leading 2.4m on the pegs. Draws well so keep safe.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 1.3 m second behind Sandelton at Melton over 2240m 3yo last start. Before that was beaten a head second again at Melton in on October 2. Form strong and she is a big chance to go one better.

Four-year-old mare racing in fine form. Won her last two outings at Horsham and Terang. Last start won by a head as favourite when quickly away, (Fr6) at Horsham (2:44.10) beating Torque In Heaven in on October 5 at $2 at the bell was leading 0.4. With any luck from the draw she could land the hat trick.
