Geelong Race 10 - Melbourne Container Park
PAW ORTIZ (1) finished well back at this track last time when a 6 length eighth (26.30) but recorded best time of the card when winning five back. Has a good winning strike rate at this journey. The form from his last run stacks up well. Has claims if he runs up to expectations. MEPUNGA POWER (2) is worth forgiving last start after finishing fifth (30.16) at Sandown over 515m. Boasts two wins from three starts out of this box. Deserves plenty of respect. BLACK NEVERA (3) had a tough draw to overcome and was game in defeat when only 0.8 lengths from Mighty Miss in second (22.59) at this track. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Overdue and expected to feature again. ZIPPING NUTTALL (5) pinged the lids and wasn't headed last time. Must be respected.

Flew the lids with a fast early split and led until late but gathered in when a 0.8 lengths second at this track over 400m in 22.59. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last time. Follow up.
