Geelong Race 8

Melbourne Container Park

Prize Money: $2,925

ALGEBRA (2) turned heads when clocking a dominant 29.34 over 515m at Sandown. In form and rates on top again. REALITY OLLIE (3) ran a convincing 25.70 when winning over 460m at Warragul last start. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. PAW MANTRA (4) hasn't been far away here at the last two, finding the frame both times, most recently when third beaten 4.5 lengths (26.26). Overdue and expected to feature again. WHODAT JEWEL (8) is always hard to beat when drawn in this box.

Continued winning form with another impressive display after running them ragged making it three on end at Sandown over 515m (29.34). Looks suited and should go close again.

Easy winner leading throughout to score by 13 lengths in a Rank Limit - Grade 5 last start at Ballarat, recording an exceptional 30.87 over the 545m journey. This tougher but prefer for a place this time.
