Geelong Race 8

Beachside Security

Prize Money: $1,530

ASTON ALLURE (3) was safely held last time out, finishing sixth at The Meadows over 525m behind Luna's Girl (31.23) in a Rank Limit - Grade 5. Looks the one to beat on her best form. BRONZE (8) was prominent early from the tricky draw and did a fair job to be beaten 8 lengths into second (26.36) at this track in a Rank Limit - Grade 5 over 460m. Leading player again. BUSH BUDDY (1) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by 0.8 lengths at Warrnambool in a handy 22.57 beating Aero Express. Looks a key chance if runs up to latest figure. BUSH LASS (2) will be thereabouts after strong recent winning form.

Was out of the placings last time at Healesville but prior to that had been racing consistently, notching three minors in a row. Tough draw to overcome and looks safely held.
