Geelong (G) Race 10

Pink Diamond Rookie Short Course Ht6

Prize Money: $3,360

MEPUNGA SPIRIT (8) is progressing well with another good run, placing by 3.5 lengths (30.30) in a Grade 6 at The Meadows. The form out of last race has been strong. Rates highly and will give a great sight. STAR FURY (1) is going well, finishing in the placings twice in a row. Not beaten far last time when a 1.5 lengths second (22.28) in a Free For All at Warrnambool. Expected to bounce back to best. HARA HACHI BU (7) comes off an average effort last start when fifth at this track over 400m behind Matt Loch (22.72) in a Free For All. The form out of her last race has been franked. Bold showing expected. CHEVRON STROLL (3) has top-three aspirations after placing last time.

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 1.5 lengths second (22.28) over 390m at Warrnambool and making it two placings on end. Has run slick time here with a 22.62 PB at the distance. Go close.

Got back last start and could only manage fourth but before that won comfortably by 9 lengths at Ballarat (21.94) beating Cucuzza in a T3 RSTW on May 11. Likely to find this a bit tough.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 400m in 22.76. Followed that up with a minor placing over 400m at this track at Grade 5 a week ago. Close to the speed and boxed on well at her latest run. In the mix again.

Solid performance to post a big 6 lengths win at this track over 460m (25.97) beating Cornhill Boomer in Rank Limit - Restricted Win on May 9. Can't recommend him in this.

Didn't finish two back and couldn't make the frame last time when she finished 5th over 400m at this track beaten 6 lengths (22.72) behind Matt Loch in a Free For All on May 29. Solid formlines coming through that last run. Will be thereabouts.
