Geelong Race 9

Beachside Security (2-3 Wins)

Prize Money: $2,925

PAW BENNETT (8) showed strong early pace and stuck on well despite finishing out of the placings when fourth over 500m Bendigo in 28.37. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. PYGMY PUFF (1) placed in a T3 RSTW when a 1.5 lengths second this course and distance last time in a personal Best Time (26.07) and also clocked one of the quickest times on the card. Top run latest and can measure up here. VESTA BALE (3) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing fourth (26.47) in a Rank Limit - Grade 6 at this track. Likely to be thereabouts. ASTON KRISTEN (2) was on the bunny all the way to win last start. Sure to figure prominently.

Ran a better race when second behind Still Believe at this track last start over 460m (26.07). Good beginner who shouldn't be far away in the run.

Latest effort finished 4th on March 5 over 460m at this track behind Still Believe beaten 5.5 lengths (26.47) in a Rank Limit - Grade 6. Should be right in the finish.
