Geelong Race 8

Corio Pizza Pace

Prize Money: $6,000

SOME MAGIC (7) started a hot favourite when resuming but manners let him down. Easy winner at Melton in his only other appearance so he has talent and hails from a top yard. Draws wide but if he gets it right he should be too good for these. TAPPY (5) came from this same barrier and finished third last start, beaten 4 metres in a good performance at Melton. Go well again. ASMILEANDAWINX (2) draws well and may be close to a win after two successive placings, the latest a third from this barrier at Ballarat. REIGN EM IN (6) draws wide but is a first-four hope off a win three back at Echuca.

Two back was well beaten into third after a quick start, behind Aliza Hill at Bendigo over 1650m in a M on May 20 at $10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Monsieur Flamel at Ballarat over 2200m on May 28 at $19. Draws for another good performance.

Two back was well beaten into tenth behind Seaside Boy at Maryborough over 1690m on April 10 at $21. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Scherger That at Melton over 1720m on April 24 at $8. Can play a role in the finish again.
