Geelong Race 1 - Betfocus Bacchus Marsh Pacing Cup (3rd Heat)
ROBLEN RANGER (1) put the writing on the wall with back-to-back seconds then led and dug deep to score last time out at Ballarat, getting home by just a head. Has the speed to take advantage of the inside draw so could be hard to catch again. ARE WEASLEY (2) made it two wins from two runs this prep when he got the cash by 3 metres at Melton last week. Draws closer to the pegs than in both of those outings so could strike again. MONSIEUR FLAMEL (5) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance at Melton, giving him a win and two placings from his last three outings. SPORTS WRACK (4) led to win last start so must be respected from a good draw.

Four-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at Melton and Kilmore. Last start ran on from midfield and posted a big 3 m win as favourite (Fr5) at Melton (2:46.10) beating Reason To Laugh in on November 6 at $2 at the bell was leading 0.54. Draws well and could land the hat trick.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing fourth after a quick start, behind Mister Jimaringle at Kilmore over 1690m on October 22 at $4.80. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Sports Narrator at Melton over 2240m in a 4yo+ on November 6 at $4.33. Nice effort last time. Going well and can be involved in the finish.

Didn't do much last start, was well back in the run when 5th (Fr3) over 2180m at Kilmore beaten 30 m by Billys Tiger Khan (2:39.20) on November 5 at $101. Before that 5th (Sr1) over 1690m at Kilmore, at the bell was 6th-9.94 beaten 11 m by Justlikedave (2:02.40) on October 27 at $19. Unlikely to threaten.
