Geelong Race 9

Melbourne Container Park (250+ Rank)

Prize Money: $1,530

DOONGALLA AL (6) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, most recently finishing 2nd at this track over 400m. Makes plenty of appeal. IF HE COULD (1) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing seventh (26.48) in a Grade 5 at this track. Solid record at the distance winning 10 races. The form from his last run stacks up well. A forward showing wouldn't surprise. XISAN BALE (4) turned in a moderate run last time when fifth at this track over 400m behind Zero Killer (23.12) in a Grade 5. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings seven times from 12 starts. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. SPECIAL PLAYERS (3) must be respected despite an unplaced effort here most recently.

Was out of placings last time (23.12) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed seven times. Has ability and can sneak into the finish.

Placed last time (22.85) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing second and beaten 2.25 lengths. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minors. Looks a leading chance.
