Geelong Race 9

Sportsbet Green Tick (300+ Rank)

Prize Money: $1,530

BEND YOUR EAR (1) was game in defeat at the latest run, finishing second and beaten 1.5 lengths (22.66) behind Miss Coco at this track. Can find winning form. CHAPPY'S TOTEM (7) improved his time on first attempt this course and distance with a 4.5 lengths win in 22.74 here latest. Has the ability and looks a key chance. COMEBACK CHARLIE (8) doesn't win out of turn. Better run when finding the frame last time though, finishing third (23.19) at this track. Form here at the trip sound including two wins. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Expected to feature again. OUT TO STAGGER (3) surprised many when in the placings last start - deserves some thought.

Hit the frame latest (22.66) when second at this track in a T3 Grade 6. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from six starts. Leading chance.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 8 lengths in 22.65, beating Harmonica. Last start finished 7th on November 15 over 400m at this track behind Zipping Arvada beaten 11 lengths (23.47) in a Mix 6/7. This looks too tough.
