Geelong Race 6 - Apco We've Got You Pace
TECHY CREED (3) is a progressive colt from a leading yard and has returned in fine order, winning both starts since a spell. Won easily at this circuit when fresh then worked from a wider barrier last time but dug deep to get home narrowly at Cranbourne. This is stronger but he'll enjoy the lower draw. GOLDEN SHOOZ (2) has been beaten as favourite in both starts since a spell but has still performed well to place each time. Draws much lower than last start and has won third-up before so could peak. BROWNIESATMIDNIGHT (7) could take the next step after coming from the back row for a resuming win a Ballarat. FERRIGNO (1) scored a second-up win at Bendigo two back before placing last time at Cranbourne, both from wider barriers. Race fit and draws to enjoy the favours. STEEL RULER (6) is proven at this venue and distance and could be close to a win following back-to-back placings.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Nakula at Bendigo over 1650m in a NR 56 to 64 on April 2 at $4.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Remi Lou at Stawell over 1785m in a NR 55 to 64 on April 18 at $3.60. Has claims.
