Geraldton tips and results

Our price $6.50 · SP $13.00 · Troy Turner

The honest one of the race. He was a nose off Divine Inanna here last start after bombing the start and going wide, which was arguably the better run in the race. He has a stack of placings at this trip and around Geraldton and is rarely far away. Fitness and consistency give him a genuine place chance, but a small win tally keeps him behind the top two.

Our price $2.80 · SP $2.50 · Laqdar Ramoly

The most reliable runner on form. She ran second over the 1400m here last start and has been in the placings repeatedly. She should get a handy run on the speed, which suits Geraldton, and the winkers add some upside.

Our price $5.00 · SP $7.00 · Holly Nottle

He drops into maiden company after competing in a Class 1 and was second here last start. The stable and jockey are in good form and the barrier is ideal. The stretch to 1400m is a question, and he has not yet closed the deal. He is a good each-way chance with a sound winning case.

Our price $2.60 · SP $2.15 · Victoria Corver

The standout on what we've seen, placed in two of three and charging home from last to be beaten barely a length at Bunbury. She has the best turn of foot in the race and is still on the up. The concern is her get-back style at a track where leaders dominate and the tempo looks only moderate, but she has enough class to overcome it if she gets a clear run.

Our price $5.50 · SP $7.50 · Jefferson Tsang

The class mare of the field, placed in three of four with form around Ascot and Pinjarra. The problem is she returns from a mammoth 670-day absence, and the stable's record here is weak.

Our price $11.00 · SP $26.00 · Joseph See

Led them up and was only grabbed late over 1100m here first up, running to a winning standard. Winkers go on and he steps to 1213m, a trip that should suit a horse with his gate speed.

Our price $3.20 · SP $3.80 · Jason Li

Truly Gallant is the most reliable form runner in the race. He was beaten less than a length in the same grade over 1400m here last start and has a strong Geraldton record of two wins and four placings from ten starts. The mile suits and the 3kg claim helps. The main query is barrier 10, which is not ideal at this trip, but his class and consistency make him the one to beat.

Our price $7.00 · SP $4.40 · Holly Nottle

Aldezor arrives on a two-win streak, including a Class 2 success here last start. He draws well in barrier four and should settle handy, with his regular rider aboard. The query is the step to 1619m, as his only try beyond 1600m was a fading effort.

Our price $6.00 · SP $8.00 · Madi Derrick

She is fit, in form and drawn inside, but her pattern is to settle near the tail, and Geraldton sprints are unkind to backmarkers. She is also yet to win on a good track and the stable has a modest strike rate at this venue.

Our price $8.00 · SP $10.00 · Natasha Faithfull

An honest local who keeps running well at this track and trip - three placings in his last four Geraldton sprints, including a closing third last start when he was checked near the 50m. Faithfull is the rider to have here and the class drop helps. The negatives are clear: a wide gate in a race where outside barriers are a clear disadvantage, and a modest win return overall. Best suited as a place conveyance.

Our price $12.00 · SP $16.00 · Kyra Yuill

She drops out of class two company, was handily placed here before fading 11 days ago, and picks up Kyra Yuill, one of the sharper local riders. She has only one win to her name in nearly 30 starts, but she is rarely far away and can hold a forward position, which matters greatly around Geraldton.

Our price $7.00 · SP $8.00 · Ava Catarino

The expected pace may stretch it in the final stages, and it is hard to see it winning from the front under pressure.

Our price $9.00 · SP $10.00 · Madi Derrick

A good last start in a similar grade suggests it is peaking, and light weight helps. If the jockey can find cover, it is a good chance to run into the placings and could win if the pace collapses.

Our price $7.50 · SP $10.00 · Jason Lyon

He has won here before and showed a decent level at this course.
