Geelong Race 7 - Apco We've Got You Pace
KEAYANG HUSTLER (6) has made a great to his career. Came from the back row to score on debut then delivered again with a last-start win at Horsham, scoring by 5.5 metres after working. Only draws one spot wider so can keep the perfect record intact. BRAVE ART (1) was a big improver second-up, leading from this barrier and fighting well to be narrowly defeated at her most recent outing at Ballarat. Fitter again so could take this out. ROSBERG NZ (3) has been coming from wider barriers of late, working but proving too good at Melton two back. Draws to play a role. LENARD ESS (4) has claims off back-to-back Melton wins earlier in the campaign.

Two back was well beaten into sixth after being driven well back, behind Bella Louise at Ballarat over 2200m in a M on October 1 at $7. Then a handy effort when a close second after a quick start, behind Cool Story at Ballarat over 2200m on October 7 at $4.20. Fitter again and should get her chance from the ace draw.

Second up after running was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr4) over 1680m at Terang was 8th-14 at the bell, beaten 12 m by Imagination Oro (2:01.40) on September 28 at $34. May need more racing.

Failed to impress last start; 8th (Fr7) over 1710m after showing early speed and racing wide at Ballarat was leading by 1.53 at the bell, beaten 10 m by Our Pinup Girl (2:03.00) on October 1 at $8.50. Showed ability the run before when he won by 5.5 m (Fr7) at Melton (2:03.40) beating Justlikedave in on September 25 at $3.90 at the bell was leading 3.62. Draws well so can be about the money.

Didn't do much at the last run, 7th (Fr1) over 2180m at Kilmore was 3rd-3.91 at the bell, beaten 14 m by Krissy (2:41.60) on October 8 at $71. Before that 5th (Fr3) over 1790m at Mildura was 5th-10.4 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Calf Pen (2:15.40) on September 27 at $4.60. Unlikely to threaten.

Brings the right form to the table. Won by 5.5 m as favourite (Fr5) at Horsham (2:04.40) beating Queens Boulevard in on October 5 at $1.10 at the bell was leading 0.27. Two runs back posted a big 7 m win as favourite (Sr1) at Terang (2:42.60) beating Dispersion in 3yo on September 28 at $1.55 at the bell was leading 4.6. Promising and can maintain the perfect record.
