Geelong Race 9

Np Electrical (1-2 Wins)

Prize Money: $1,530

CORA MAC (6) jumps from box 6 for the first time after scoring at this track (26.24) in a Maiden. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Looks to have an edge on most of these. NORTON BALE (1) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, breaking through last time at Ballarat over 450m. Won at his only start from this draw. Leading chance again. PAW JESSABELLE (2) looks close to another win after hitting the frame in a one length third (25.94) in a T3 RSTW at Ballarat. Can measure up. DARK ARTS (8) will have admirers after surprising many with a placing last time out.

Comments

Good performance after racing just off the speed to win by 0.8 lengths at Ballarat over 450m (25.89) beating Excitable Dash in T3 RSTW on February 2. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.

Finished third last start (25.94) over 450m at Ballarat. Has a low draw. One of the better hopes.

Backs up after finishing 5th on February 7 over 525m at The Meadows in a Mix 6/7. Can't recommend her in this.

Hit the ground running and set it up early clocking 26.24 with a 0.8 lengths win at this track over 460m. The one to beat again.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish third (22.96) at this track over 400m. Rates among the chances this time.
