RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Ripping edition of the Geelong Pacing Cup where MINOS (5) is fancied to score first-up from a break. He has had the two trials in preparation for this and heads here for his first outing since a fourth placing behind Captains Mistress and Leap To Fame in the Inter Dominion Pacing Championship Grand Final at Albion Park in July. He won a heat and placed second in another before that and looks a good chance of rolling across to the front for Lochie Cook, who is looking to add a second Geelong Cup to his mantlepiece after scoring with JILLIBY NITRO (4) in March this year. BULLETPROOF BOY (2) hasn’t raced since a slightly disappointing display at Melton on August 29 but is a star and gets a great chance if he’s able to find the fence, NEW SHUFFLE (1) ran two brilliant races through the recent Vicbred Super Series and draws to run well here, while SIR JIMMY (8) was only grabbed in the shadows of the post by Catch A Wave last time and should be a factor from inside the back row. BACK: NEW SHUFFLE (1) – 3 units (place)
