RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Cracking edition of the Geelong Pacing Cup where MACH DAN (4) looks to claim his third win in the race. He ran really well for second last weekend behind stablemate Miki To Success – beating home SMOKEN ACE (1) in the process – and is out to better his second placing to Rakero Rebel from last year. His task looks difficult from the draw, however, with the speedy SMOKEN ACE (1) expected to lead and dictate. He has risen through the ranks this preparation with the services of James Herbertson and set a new Geelong sprint trip track record from the chair back in December. The query is the 2570m journey here and whether he can absorb pressure, but I want to be in his corner as the pegs is the place to be at Beckley Park. JILLIBY NITRO (5) was way back in that race won by Miki To Success, but sliced through the line despite limited room and is racing in super form, while the emerging OLIVER DAN (6) was very competitive through the Cranbourne, Kilmore and Hunter cups and can certainly win if the tempo is on.
