Geelong Race 6 - Sportsbet Geelong Cup Ht2
PAW ULTRA (1) was below best at his last start when 8th at Mt Gambier following a second place finish (29.54) at Sandown two back. Tough to beat if on-song. MATT LOCH (2) is a fast beginner who has shown good improvement at his last two starts, the latest scoring at this track over 460m. Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. Significant danger. ZIPPING HOPKINS (3) could manage only third at Horsham last time but caught the eye when clocking a powerful 27.14 over 485m at Horsham the start prior. Top win two back and rates a key player again. TAKUMI BALE (8) is worth including.

Hit the frame last time at Horsham but the start prior was an eye-catching winner after racing just off the speed, scoring by 0.9 lengths in a Special conditions H at Horsham and clocking a hot 27.14 for the 485m trip. Can measure up again if runs up to recent best times.

Didn't make the placings last time at Mt Gambier (30.61) in a OPEN, finishing a 10 length seventh. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Tough line-up and may struggle.
