Geelong Race 8

Melbourne Container Park (250+ Rank)

Stake: $1,683

PAW SAMUEL (6) has a strong winning strike-rate here having won two of three starts. Missed the frame latest (26.00) when fourth over 450m at Ballarat in a T3 RSTW. Looks a leading chance on best. BOROUGH BANKER (1) turned in a moderate performance last time when fifth at Warrnambool over 390m behind Description (22.24) in a Mix 3/4. Has ability and can atone. GO NOW (3) has some solid form under his belt and proved too strong last time to win by 0.8 lengths at this track in a handy 26.41 beating Ivory Pygmy. Form should stack up. CAN'T PARK THERE (2) placed last time and is worth some thought.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 5th on November 21 over 390m at Warrnambool behind Description beaten 6 lengths (22.24) in a Mix 3/4. Has the ability to take this out.

Comments

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 4.5 lengths third (25.61) over 450m at Shepparton. Capable of playing a big role.

Didn't make the placings last time at Sandown (30.29) in a Grade 5, finishing a 9 length sixth. Super consistent from the draw with a win and two places from three starts. Looking to others.

Hasn't threatened at his last couple but he does have good record over this track and distance. The last run is a strong form reference. Follow up.

Produced a good effort last start to finish fifth on November 24 over 350m at Healesville behind Especial Charlie, beaten 2.25 lengths (19.91) in a Grade 5. Racing well and has to be included.
