Geelong Race 4 - Betavet Pace
SKIPPYS DELIGHT NZ (4) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 10 metres from the winner in third over 1720m at Melton. Meets a similar line up and he can take this out. GUARANTEED TROUBLE (5) has not raced for eight months. Looks forward enough for this return after a minor placing in a recent trial. Sure to be right there at the finish. MAGIC MIKE NZ (2) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1720m at Melton last time out. BREAK MY ART (3) ended last prep with a tenth at Ballarat over 2200m six months ago. Can open this campaign with a more positive effort.

Ran 4th (Fr3) over 1710m after showing early speed at Ballarat, at the bell was 5th-7.06 beaten 5 m by Livermere (2:06.00) on August 5 at $16. Before that 8th (Sr1) over 2200m at Ballarat, beaten 23 m by The Democrat (2:44.70) on July 29 at $34. Unlikely to threaten.
