Geelong Race 8

Prize Money: $1,530

NORBIT (5) turned in a moderate performance last time when eighth at Ballarat over 450m behind Don't Tell Shell (26.50) in a Grade 4/5. Form from his last run is proving strong. Can discover winning form. TILES AND WINE (7) turned in a fair 4th placed finish last time at Warrnambool over 450m (25.84). Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. RADAR'S PATROL (1) was checked in the run and safely held when seventh (26.43) in a Grade 5 over 450m at Shepparton. Should be in this for a long way. MY GIRL PIPER (2) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start.

Didn't make the placings last time at Shepparton (26.43) in a Grade 5, finishing a 5 length seventh. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Looks well placed and should feature.

Could only manage fifth last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when third (26.45) over 450m at Ballarat. Draws an inside box and is among the better hopes.

Was out of placings last time (26.50) at Ballarat in a Grade 4/5, finishing eighth and beaten 7 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting three places from six starts. Has ability and looks a key chance.

Comments

Last start finished sixth in a Restricted WIN H on June 25 over 600m at The Meadows behind Wyong Houston, beaten 10 lengths (35.77). Will find this a little easier. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.
