Geraldton tips and results

Our price $15.00 · SP $15.00 · Joseph See

He was ridden upside down first-up when leading and weakening, so expect a return to settling off the pace.

Our price $6.50 · SP $6.00 · Jason Li

His 1100m run at Bunbury was the best sprint effort among these, and he now drops to 53kg with a claiming rider. A hot tempo could also see him chased at the finish.

Our price $7.00 · SP $10.00 · Kyra Yuill

A reliable placegetter who has been close here at 1100m, including a good third a few starts back. He gets the run on the speed, but he is winless from 26 and carries top weight. The danger is a tempo that cooks him in the straight.

Our price $4.20 · SP $5.00 · Kyra Yuill

A reliable type at the distance who has run two good thirds at this level. He sits midfield, so he should get a tidy run, and the barrier is fine.

Our price $5.50 · SP $6.00 · Troy Turner

Gold Keeper rarely runs a bad race, and he looks well placed from the inside barrier at a light weight. The blinkers helped him run a close second last month.

Our price $9.50 · SP $16.00 · Jason Li

A consistent placegetter at Geraldton who ran second over almost this distance last start. He gets a handy run from barrier 5 and carries a light weight with an apprentice claim. He rates as the best-value each-way chance.

Truly Gallant is a model of consistency at Geraldton. He has two wins and four seconds from 11 starts here and has won and placed over this track and distance. He was wide throughout when fifth last start and had run a brave second two starts back. Barrier 11 is not ideal, but he should settle in the first half of the field and be strong late.

Our price $6.50 · SP $10.00 · Zephen Johnston-Porter

Cantilever has been knocking on the door with three straight thirds at Geraldton. He has won and placed over this track and distance and looks the likely leader in a race with little early speed. Barrier 15 means he will have to work to cross, but if he finds the front without too much effort he can control the tempo. The track has been favouring closers, so he is a risk, but his consistency keeps him in the top three.

Our price $15.00 · SP $51.00 · Ebony Johnson

Danea Rock is the value play. She won last start and finished second at her two previous runs, showing improved form. She is a get-back mare who should appreciate the way this track has been playing, and she carries a light weight with a claiming jockey.

Our price $4.00 · SP $4.20 · Joseph See

Archenemy is the one to beat on his Geraldton 1400m record, where he has a win and two placings from three attempts. He was a close second in this class over 1413m carrying 61kg in April and his recent runs over shorter have been sound without suiting. The moderate tempo and Geraldton's leaning toward closers help, though barrier 14 and top weight mean he will need a clean trip. He is the most likely winner.

Our price $5.50 · SP $6.50 · Kyra Yuill

Aldezor won a 1400m Class 2 at Geraldton two starts back and has two wins from three starts at the track. The inside gate gives him the option to settle closer than most, and Kyra Yuill is a strong local rider. His last run over 1619m was below his best, but the drop back to 1400m suits. He is a genuine second pick and should be in the finish.

Our price $13.00 · SP $18.00 · Jason Li

She was a strong second in a Class 2 at Geraldton over 1413m two starts back and drops to 52kg from an inside draw. Her first-up run was plain but she has won second-up before, and her track-and-distance record is respectable.

Our price $5.50 · SP $5.50 · Troy Turner

Deep Discretion is a Geraldton specialist with three wins and four placings from seven at this trip. She was consistent in stronger company last preparation and drops in grade. The concern is that she is fresh after six months and has never won first-up, while a moderate tempo may not suit her get-back style.

Our price $9.00 · SP $21.00 · Madi Derrick

He is a Geraldton specialist who drops in class and looks the likely lone leader from barrier 4. His last start can be forgiven after he was found lame, but his second-up record is a concern. If he recovers and controls a moderate tempo, he can be hard to catch.
