Geelong Race 8

Melbourne Container Park

Prize Money: $2,925

HONEY RYDER (7) hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 3 length fourth (25.91) over 460m at this track. Can make amends. SPRING COIN (2) has been a little hard to follow, finishing out of the placings latest but was in winning form two back scoring in a Grade 5 at The Meadows. Rates a winning chance on best. PAW DROGO (3) has missed the frame the last couple but was a Grade 5 winner three back (23.94) at Bendigo over 425m. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. KIWI HENRY (4) is worth including.

Comments

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fifth last time out over 450m at Ballarat. Likely to find this too tough.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (26.69) in a Grade 5, finishing a 14 length eighth. Has performed well off the draw with a win and four places from eight starts. Has ability and looks a key chance.

Goes well at this track and trip. Most recent effort finished last over 515m at Sandown beaten 13 lengths (31.05) behind Blinked in a Grade 5 on January 26. Leading chance on best form.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when second (24.06) over 425m at Bendigo. Has a squeeze box to navigate but is among the better hopes.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow fourth (25.91) over 460m at this track. Forward showing expected.

Good effort to win last start by 0.8 lengths over 425m at Bendigo in a handy (23.97), beating Mighty Miss. Will find this a bit tougher, others make more appeal.
