top pick wonanother tip wonno tip won
Has placed 6 times from 25 starts including 3 seconds and 3 thirds. Recent form is solid with a 4th last start just 11 days ago. Extensive experience at Geraldton with 20 previous starts including a second at this track and distance. The wide barrier is a concern but she has the ability to overcome it.
Lightly-raced mare showing significant improvement with a strong 2nd placing last start at Moora. Second-up today and should strip fitter.
Gelding who showed improved form in his last preparation with a 2nd and 3rd in his final two starts. Has a good record at this track and distance with a second placing from three attempts. The wide barrier and top weight are concerns, but his form warrants respect.
Lightly-raced mare with just one career start where she finished 5th at Northam. The perfect draw in barrier 1 should allow her to take up a prominent position.

First-up from a spell with a top jockey booking in Clint Johnston-Porter and drawn perfectly in barrier 2. The Maschino gelding should get an ideal run in midfield and has significant upside compared to more exposed rivals. Expecting strong improvement.
The mare has placed twice from 15 starts and drops significantly in class here. Well-drawn in barrier 4 with experienced jockey Laqdar Ramoly aboard. Has been racing consistently and should be right in the finish with even luck.
Chinese Dentist brings solid recent form with a 4th placing last start at this track. The gear change (tongue tie off) could spark improvement, and he should be suited by the likely fast tempo. Drawn wide but has the early speed to overcome it.
Mensesh represents the unknown quantity in the race as an unraced runner. The lightweight of 54kg is a significant advantage, and the booking of experienced jockey Natasha Faithfull suggests connections expect a forward showing.

Has shown consistency with 3 placings from last 6 starts and performs well at this track (2: 0-1-0). While yet to break through for a win, his recent performances and track experience make him the standout selection with Zephen Johnston-Porter aboard.
Mr Universe brings improving form including a last-start 2nd at Toodyay over 1350m. The barrier 1 draw is ideal at Geraldton, and he drops significantly in class from some previous assignments. While his overall record is modest with just one second from 14 starts, his recent improvement and perfect draw give him strong place claims.
The Michael Grantham stable has been performing well, and the barrier draw gives tactical options.

Luckee Floran brings superior Geraldton form to this race with an impressive track record of 24:4-5-2 and track/distance record of 10:1-3-2. His recent form is excellent with consecutive second placings, and he's proven at this class level. While carrying top weight is a concern, he's shown he can handle it effectively. Maps to get a good run just off the pace and should be strong through the line.
Diablo Lad brings metropolitan form to this country race, having been competitive in stronger Belmont and Ascot company. The likely fast tempo should suit his on-pace style, and he's proven second-up with a place strike rate of 67%. Main concern is his first time at Geraldton track.
He's dropping in class from recent assignments and has a solid record at Geraldton (28:2-2-4).
First Contact maps to settle back in the field and should be suited by the anticipated fast tempo. Her overall record at Geraldton is solid (21:3-2-0), and she showed improvement with a 5th placing last start.

Yallingup Girl brings strong metropolitan form to this country race, with a consistent place record and excellent first-up statistics. While she's unproven at this track and distance, her class edge is significant, having competed successfully in higher grade races. Her versatile racing pattern and good barrier draw should allow her to settle midfield and finish strongly in what looks to be a fast-tempo race.
She's been racing in higher class events and drops significantly in grade here. With a light weight of 52.5kg and a good barrier draw, she's well-positioned to improve on her last start 6th placing. Her consistent place record suggests she'll be in the finish.
Fuzzybox has a strong record at this track with 1 win from 4 starts and has shown ability at this distance. The first-time blinkers application is a significant gear change that could sharpen her up.
The barrier 1 draw is ideal for this track and distance, and he drops significantly in class from recent races.

Progressive 4YO gelding showing excellent recent form with a win two starts back followed by a solid third in this class. Has a strong record at Geraldton (1-0-1 from 2 starts) and should appreciate the moderate-fast tempo predicted. While unproven at this exact distance, his racing pattern suggests it will suit. Represents the best combination of form, track suitability and value.
Lightly-raced 4YO gelding showing significant upside with a dominant maiden win at this track last start. The step up to 1614m is a query but his racing pattern suggests it should suit. Main concern is the significant class rise from maiden grade to Class 2, which tempers confidence slightly.
Experienced 6YO gelding who ran a solid fourth in this class last start when resuming. Now second-up from a spell with a good second-up record. The weight (59.5kg) is a concern but he's proven he can carry it. Should be finishing strongly.
While his win strike rate is poor (1 from 31), he's a reliable place-getter at this track with a 1-1-3 record from 27 starts. Gets in well at the weights with 54.5kg and should get a good run from barrier 6.

Last start winner who brings the strongest recent form to this race. The wide barrier is a concern, but he has enough early speed to overcome it. Proven at the class level and distance, he represents the most reliable winning chance in a competitive field.
Progressive 4YO who returned with an impressive first-up win at Geraldton over 1213m. Has won both starts at this track and handles Good surfaces well (5: 2-0-0). Drawn perfectly in barrier 1 which should allow him to settle in a forward position. The class rise is the main query, but he appears to have plenty of upside and should be ready to fire second-up.
Ran a solid 3rd last start at this track and gets in well at the weights with 54.5kg. The good draw should allow him to settle in a handy position. Main concerns are his poor record at this track (7: 0-0-1) and the class rise, but his raw ability gives him claims in this field.
Progressive mare who has won her last two starts impressively. While she's yet to race at Geraldton and has limited experience at this distance, her current form is too good to ignore.

Thehorseman brings compelling recent form with consecutive wins at Geraldton, demonstrating his affinity for this track. While this represents a class rise, his 6 wins from 16 starts on Good tracks and perfect Geraldton record suggest he's ready for the challenge.
Her Geraldton record is exceptional with 3 wins from 4 starts, and she's well-weighted with 54kg. The mare has shown versatility in running positions and handles Good tracks well.
On The Mark brings class and an excellent record to this race with 6 wins from 17 starts overall and 5 wins from 11 starts at Geraldton. He's perfect at this track and distance combination and handles Good tracks well. The main concerns are his first-up record (0 wins from 2 attempts), the top weight of 62kg, and the wide barrier. Despite these challenges, his class and track affinity make him a strong contender.
With a strong record at Geraldton (3 wins from 10 starts) and specifically at this track and distance (2 wins from 6 starts), she's well-suited to these conditions. While facing a class rise, her consistency and track affinity make her an appealing value proposition.
