Geelong Race 5 - Melbourne Container Park (300+Rank)
DOLLAR BUCKS (3) tends to drift back and work into the race, finishing out of the placings two back before charging home into the minors latest when third (22.88) in a Grade 5 at this track last time. Solid record here winning 10 races. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minor placings. Must come into calculations. TINKER CONALL (4) has mixed form recently, finishing fifth (22.73) in a Grade 5 at Ballarat latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Key player on best and worth another try. SOCKS AND SLIDES (1) doesn't win out of turn but recent form sound. Finished in the minors last time when third (23.10) at Warragul making it back to back placings. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from four attempts. Expected to feature. HOW DELIGHTFUL (7) can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Strong performance showing plenty of speed to score by 2 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at Ballarat, recording a slick 22.25 over the 390m journey. Should be in this for a long way.

Did a good job two starts back at Bendigo to win by a neck in 24.52, beating Frank Grimes. Last start finished 7th in a Special conditions race on October 10 over 425m at Bendigo behind Aston Hedland beaten 6 lengths (24.43). Failed to threaten last start and looks tested again.

Goes well at this track and trip. At the last start finished last on December 12 over 300m at Healesville behind Zippi Mustang beaten 6 lengths (17.26) in a Grade 5. Expect improvement on the latest effort. Great chance to atone.
