Geelong (G) Race 7

Melbourne Container Park

Stake: $3,159

UP HILL SHILOH (8) was safely held last time out, finishing eighth at this track over 460m behind BALLAN BRUMBY (26.69) in a Group Listed. Was a winner the start prior. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings two times from three starts. Looks the one to beat on her best form. AWESOME AVENGER (3) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing sixth (23.05) in a Group Listed at this track. Strike rate this distance strong having won 10 of 20 tries. Expected to feature in the finish. GO GO EVIE (6) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 6th at The Meadows following on from a second place finish (30.38) there the start prior. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. DOLLAR BUCKS (2) racing over this course and distance brings the best out in him.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 595m at Sandown. Others preferred on this occasion.
