Geelong Race 6

Melbourne Container Park

Stake: $1,683

DOLLAR SHORT (1) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at Horsham behind Flat Chat (23.90) in a Grade 5. Turned chasing the leaders but kept coming. One of the contenders. GIZMO'S GIRL (2) is having her first start around this track. Missed the frame last time when 4th and beaten 5 lengths (24.42) at Bendigo. Worth following up. ARTIFICIAL BLUE (7) jumped well from this draw last time and was prominent throughout before holding second (24.57) in a Grade 5 at Bendigo over 425m. Harder here but expected to feature again. BOGAN BEND (5) has not raced here but still warrants respect.

Last start finished 3rd on April 11 over 410m at Horsham behind Flat Chat beaten 7 lengths (23.90) in a Grade 5. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

Missed the frame latest (24.42) when fourth over 425m at Bendigo in a Grade 5. Goes very well from the draw boasting one victory and two places from five starts. With a clean break looks hard to beat.
