Geelong Race 8 - Melbourne Container Park (250+ Rank)
ASTON BAMFORD (1) boasts a strong record this journey here with five wins and two minors from 10 tries. Placed last time (22.84) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing second and beaten 2 lengths. Has the ability and should feature. REIKO WALTER (2) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fifth (25.71) last time in a Grade 5 H at Shepparton. Bold showing expected. ASTON ALLURE (8) filled a minor placing last start at Ballarat behind Scarlett Express (31.57) in a Grade 5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Expecting another good run. GRAY ELLIOT (5) is worth consideration.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 400m at this track. This looks too tough.
