Geelong tips and results

Our price $3.50 · Ben Allen

The addition of blinkers for the first time should sharpen him up, and his recent form has been consistent with a placing two starts back. Well-drawn in barrier 4 with experienced jockey Ben Allen aboard, he looks primed to break through.

Our price $5.00 · Daniel Stackhouse

Well-drawn in barrier 3 with Daniel Stackhouse aboard, he has proven ability on soft tracks. The Freedman stable is in good form, and this gelding should improve second-up with natural progression.

Our price $6.00 · Declan Bates

The Maher stable is firing, and this gelding should be suited by the likely fast tempo. While untested at the distance and on soft tracks, his natural ability and consistency make him a genuine contender in this maiden field.

Our price $5.50 · Craig Williams

Second-up from a spell with natural improvement expected, the booking of Craig Williams is a massive positive. His solid 3rd placing last start suggests he's ready to fire, and the likely fast tempo should suit his running style.

Our price $7.00 · Jarrod Fry

Second-up today and drawn perfectly in barrier 6, he should get a nice midfield position in a race with moderate-fast tempo. The step up to 1447m looks ideal based on his finishing strength, and Jarrod Fry retains the ride.

Our price $5.50 · Declan Bates

Contours showed promise on debut when finishing strongly for fifth, beaten less than a length on a heavy track. The Ciaron Maher-trained gelding draws the inside barrier which should give him every chance to position well. The step up in distance looks suitable based on his finishing effort, and Declan Bates is a positive jockey booking.

Our price $6.00 · Craig Williams

The McEvoy stable has engaged Craig Williams which is a significant jockey upgrade, and the addition of a tongue tie could help his breathing and performance. While his form appears to be declining slightly, the step up in distance may suit based on his running style, and he should appreciate the moderate-fast tempo predicted.

Our price $5.00 · John Allen

He has a placing at this track and his first-up record includes a placing. The gear change from blinkers to winkers could sharpen his focus, and John Allen staying aboard is a positive.

Our price $2.80 · Caitlin Hollowood

Lygon Street Luigi brings excellent soft track credentials (1-7-1 from 11 starts) and consistent recent form with a narrow second just 13 days ago. While his win strike rate is low, he's a reliable placegetter who handles this class level well. The drop in weight and proven ability on soft going make him the standout in this field despite the wide draw.

Our price $7.00 · Alana Kelly

Brave Charm is a lightly-raced improver with an excellent win strike rate (2 from 5) and perfect soft track record. She's dropping significantly in class after competing in open company last start and won two starts back. The good barrier draw and proven ability on soft going make her a genuine threat, though she's untested at this distance.

Our price $9.00 · Jamie Mott

The booking of Jamie Mott is significant, and he drops in class from his previous campaign. The main concerns are his soft track record and the wide barrier, but his class edge and fresh legs make him a genuine contender.

Our price $5.00 · Luke Currie

Pennine Way brings a consistent profile with four placings from his last six starts. The McEvoy-trained gelding has an excellent record on soft tracks (1-3-2 from 6 starts) and is second-up from a spell. While his win strike rate is modest at 10%, his place strike rate of 50% is impressive. The significant class rise is a concern, but his ability to handle soft conditions and consistency make him a solid place chance.

Our price $8.00 · Jordan Childs

Our price $3.50 · Linda Meech

Progressive mare with excellent soft track credentials who has shown significant ability in her brief career. Won at this track in June and has never missed a place in four career starts. Handles soft ground superbly and has a top jockey aboard. First-up record shows she can perform fresh, and the class rise is offset by her progressive profile and weight advantage.

Our price $4.20 · Craig Williams

Mare dropping significantly in class after racing in stronger company. Gets the services of Craig Williams and the addition of blinkers for the first time should sharpen her up. Has been racing consistently without winning recently, but the class drop is significant. Has placed at this track and distance previously. Main query is her ability on soft ground with limited exposure.

Our price $12.00 · Daniel Stackhouse

Our price $2.80 · Luke Currie

Chewing Gum brings the strongest recent form into this race with consecutive placings in stronger company. The mare drops significantly in class from recent BM66 races and should appreciate the soft track based on her record. Perfectly positioned to break through for a well-deserved win.

Our price $4.50 · Craig Williams

Our price $8.00 · Jordyn Weatherley

Runway Ruler represents excellent value coming back from a spell with a history of competing in stronger races. While her first-up record isn't stellar, she excels second-up and has performed well on soft tracks with a win and a placing from three attempts. The mare gets significant weight relief with 55.5kg and has drawn perfectly in barrier 1.
