Geelong Race 8 - Melbourne Container Park
EXCAVATION (8) settled midfield in the run and boxed on to finish there when 5th (29.66) at Sandown. Has a good winning strike rate at this journey. The form out of last race has been strong. Has claims if he runs up to expectations. ZIPPING GRYLLIS (2) posted a dazzling 18.99 when finishing second behind Mile A Minute over 350m at Healesville last start. Smart time latest and looks a key chance on that form. ASTON WESTERN (1) rocketed around 400m at this track in 22.31 three back then has been in the money the last two since. Should be in this for a long way. SCOTLAND YARD (3) can run a bold race on best form.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 7 length third at Shepparton but did record a good 25.43 over the 450m journey. Can measure up with a repeat of that effort.

Solid performance to win by one length at Ballarat over 450m (25.66) beating Paw Nicholls in Grade 4/5 on September 11. In form but prepared to risk this time.

Has struggled to jump cleanly in recent outings and the results have been disappointing, the most recent effort a seventh over 525m at The Meadows. Others have better credentials.
