Geelong Race 8 - Corio Pizza Pace
SOME MAGIC (7) started a hot favourite when resuming but manners let him down. Easy winner at Melton in his only other appearance so he has talent and hails from a top yard. Draws wide but if he gets it right he should be too good for these. TAPPY (5) came from this same barrier and finished third last start, beaten 4 metres in a good performance at Melton. Go well again. ASMILEANDAWINX (2) draws well and may be close to a win after two successive placings, the latest a third from this barrier at Ballarat. REIGN EM IN (6) draws wide but is a first-four hope off a win three back at Echuca.

Two back was well beaten into third after a quick start, behind Aliza Hill at Bendigo over 1650m in a M on May 20 at $10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Monsieur Flamel at Ballarat over 2200m on May 28 at $19. Draws for another good performance.

Comes here in the right form. Won by 4.5 m when driven back in the field, (Fr5) held up early, at Cranbourne (2:32.00) beating Longtan Viper in on May 17 at $11 at the bell was 4th-8.8. Two runs back 6th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track beaten 20 m by Romeo (1:54.30) on May 8 at $31. Will find this tough.

Two back was well beaten into tenth behind Seaside Boy at Maryborough over 1690m on April 10 at $21. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Scherger That at Melton over 1720m on April 24 at $8. Can play a role in the finish again.
