Geelong Race 2 - Big Daddy Sprint Pace
I AM THE STORM (3) was last seen in the Vicbred Super Series where he finished midfield in the G1 final in his latest appearance in September. Should be ready to go after two trials and looks the one to beat from a good draw. GOLDEN TRIBE (4) is back from a break of three-and-a-half months and looks to be right up to the mark following two trials, winning the latest. Started last campaign with back-to-back wins so is likely to run a big race. JUST MIKI (5) drew on the back row last time but has claims off a win from a similar draw to this two back. POPCORNFRIDAY (10) has won here before and must be considered after he missed narrowly last start.

Returns from the paddock. Previously first up won by 6 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr3) at this track (1:58.60) beating Thinkfast Runfast in 2yo 0-2 WINS on October 4 at $1.65. Has plenty of upside and is expected to perform well.
