Geraldton tips and results

Our price $5.20 · SP $5.50 · Holly Nottle

A genuine Geraldton performer who should get a handy run just behind the leader at a light weight. His best efforts earlier this year ran to a winning standard, and the trial 10 days ago will have sharpened him.

Our price $5.80 · SP $4.60 · Jason Lyon

If he repeats the handy trip he had last start he is a threat. The map says he will be further back, which is a worry in a slow race. His overall form is the weakest of the contenders, so he gets third place on the strength of his recent win and the light weight.

Our price $5.00 · SP $12.00 · Ebony Johnson

He ran well enough in the same grade last start to hold some claims, and a soft lead can make him hard to run down.

Our price $4.00 · SP $4.80 · Sharni Webster

A fast tempo with two genuine leaders should give her a good run to pick up the pieces, and she has a light weight and a trainer who does well at Geraldton. Barrier 11 and the track's lean against backmarkers keep her second.

Our price $4.80 · SP $7.00 · Laqdar Ramoly

A reliable placegetter who was a close third last start and has the barrier and early speed to lead or sit just off. The problem is that he has not won in 25 starts, and he is likely to be pressured by Raylana in a fast tempo while carrying top weight.

Our price $5.20 · SP $5.00 · Madi Derrick

She was a close second over this distance last start, and her form is trending up.

Our price $5.50 · SP $12.00 · Sharni Webster

A genuine place-type with local form and a big weight advantage. She should be handy in a moderate tempo and is fitter second-up. Backs up the claim for a close finish, but she hasn't yet won and the stable is out of form, so she's a threat rather than a standout.

Our price $5.80 · SP $7.00 · Lisa Staples

A regular placegetter who has drawn the rail and gets a class dip. She does not lead, but the inside draw helps her get a cosy run, and she has finished close in better company.

Our price $8.00 · SP $15.00 · Sharni Webster

A natural front-runner with a big weight advantage who can dictate in a race expected to be run at a moderate pace. She has won at Geraldton before and runs a solid time over a similar distance.

Our price $3.60 · SP $3.20 · Sharni Webster

Won last start at Geraldton in a fast time, handles Good ground and draws well in barrier 3. With two genuine leaders in the race and a moderate tempo, it can sit handy and use its fitness. The class rise is the main query, but the recent run was strong enough to back it.

Our price $5.00 · SP $5.00 · Tara Atherden

It has natural speed and ran well at Northam on a wet track a year ago, but all its form is on Soft ground and the stable is cold. Its run in the barrier trial was only fair.

Our price $7.50 · SP $11.00 · Troy Turner

The mare showed a high level of form at Geraldton in April and gets an inside draw over a sprint trip with a light weight, which suits the track's pattern. Her record is thin and the stable is cold, so it is a risk, but she is underpriced if she returns to that April form. An each-way chance.

Our price $4.80 · SP $6.50 · Holly Nottle

Ran a strong second behind In Situ's class of rival at Geraldton and is second up with room to improve. The expected hot tempo should bring him into the race, though he needs luck from the draw and the trip is unproven.

Our price $5.80 · SP $6.00 · Joseph See

A strong-finishing sprinter second up who has proven he handles Geraldton. The hot tempo should set up a late run, but the wide draw, the back-of-field style and a jockey who is out of form make winning difficult. Place appeal is stronger than win.

Our price $8.00 · SP $31.00 · Tara Atherden

He looks a fair value each-way chance.

Our price $4.80 · SP $5.00 · Natasha Faithfull

He was a gallant second last start in a higher grade and now steps down in class with a favourable weight. His lack of early speed and wide barrier mean he needs luck in a moderate tempo, and he has only one win from 16 starts.

Our price $5.50 · SP $20.00 · Troy Turner

A big drop in weight and a step down in class give him a sound chance. He won a similar race here last year and his barrier is good. Last start was a flat effort under 60.5kg, so he is not a certainty, but he should run a bold race in a moderately run contest.
