Geelong Race 4 - Attvest Pace
LENARD ESS (3) overcame a wider draw to find winning form a week ago, getting home by almost 5 metres at Melton. Up in grade but draws lower and owns a good record at this circuit and distance so could strike again. CALEDONIAN RANGER (4) is racing consistently. Added to a string of top-four finishes when third here two starts back then was competitive again from this barrier at his latest appearance at Ballarat, beaten 5 metres into third after being up on the pace. Good enough to take out a race like this. HELLOVASTORY (9) may need some luck from the back row but should be at his peak for this and is going well, winning two back before clocking in second at the latest appearance. COLOSIMO (10) has won a trial since the last outing and cannot be left out after putting together a string of top-four results.

Comes here second-up after two weeks. Lacklustre first-up performance when 7th (Sr1) over 1609m at this track beaten 15 m by Starzzz Destiny (1:55.40) in NR 50 to 55 on May 8 at $17. May need more racing.

Two back was well beaten into third after showing early speed, behind Romeo at this track over 1609m in a NR 50 to 55 on May 8 at $14. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Sportsbou at Ballarat over 2200m in a NR 50 to 55 on May 14 at $11. Going along well. Has been racing well and could break through.
