Geelong Race 7

Melbourne Container Park

Prize Money: $2,925

PLATINUM RELEASE (1) is having her first look at this circuit. Comes here after a last start 4th and beaten 2 lengths (23.96) at Bendigo. Rates on top in this line up. SLICK TOMMY (7) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fourth (24.25) in a Grade 5 at Bendigo. Has a good record at this journey. Comes through a solid form race last start. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. PAW VERITY (8) turned in a moderate effort last time when seventh at this track over 460m behind Oh Biscuit (26.57) in a Grade 5. Was in the money prior to that. Great chance to atone. CHARGE ON (6) jumped best and was never headed last time. Hard to beat.

Didn't make the placings last time at Bendigo (23.96) in a Grade 5, finishing a 2 length fourth. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minors. Has ability and should feature.
