Geelong Race 7 - Pink Diamond Champion Distance Ht2
ETHANOL VOLUME (6) missed the frame last time, finishing 4th (38.12) last time in a Special conditions race at Ballarat. Is yet to taste defeat in two starts this course and distance. Can make amends. NAVARINO (8) has a strong record this trip with five wins and four placings from 10 starts. Placed last time (34.30) at Sandown in a Grade 4/5, finishing second and beaten 8 lengths. Looks well placed here and among the chances. LANFRANCO (1) looks close to another win after finishing third from Box 8 last time (42.29) at Sandown. Has a strong record out of this box with two wins and a minor placing from five starts. Likely to be in the finish again. PANAMA RHODE (2) recorded a 1.3 lengths win (34.47) in a Grade 4/5 last time at The Meadows. Loves this draw, having won three of five starts.

Has been in the money the last two runs. Finished third at Sandown in 42.29 last time but the start prior clocked an excellent 37.04 over 650m when went down narrowly, at Warrnambool. This tougher but prefer for a place this time.

Well supported here last start but let backers down, finishing finished 4th over 660m at Ballarat beaten 1.5 lengths (38.12) behind Ethanol Water in a Special conditions race on May 30. Placed two back at The Meadows. Has been racing well. Well placed here and looks a leading contender.

Won two starts back at Sandown over 715m in 42.01. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 715m at Sandown at S/E Group 1 level. Not suited by wide draw, can't enthuse on this occasion.
