Geelong Race 12

One More Race To Go

Prize Money: $1,530

CONNOR'S FLYER (8) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing seventh (23.76) in a Grade 5 at Ballarat. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings four times from seven starts. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. HARTLAND PRINCE (5) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing sixth (24.78) in a Rank Limit - Grade 5 at Bendigo. Leading chance. TINKER MIKE (4) produced a moderate performance last time when seventh at Ballarat over 450m behind As You Were (26.49) in a Grade 5. One of the main contenders. SOLAR TOBY (7) is worth including.

Having her first run at Geelong. Comes off an average run last start over 390m at Shepparton when fifth behind Dim Sim Rixi (22.95) in Grade 5. Happy enough to avoid.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished sixth on February 3 over 400m at this track behind Smiling Lily, beaten 3.5 lengths (23.27) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5. Likely to struggle this time.

Was out of placings last time (23.76) at Ballarat in a Grade 5, finishing seventh and beaten 19 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed four times. Looks hard to beat with even luck.
