Geelong Race 5

Etu Vic (300+Rank)

Prize Money: $1,530

TINKER RAYS (1) turned spotting a big start finishing sixth (23.43) last time in a Rank Limit - Grade 5 at this track. Better than last start and worth following up. COMEBACK CHARLIE (8) has been hard to follow lately, running fourth (22.97) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at Ballarat. Can improve sharply here. ASTON HEDLAND (7) after finishing in the placings three back has missed the frame since but not beaten far last time when a 1.4 lengths fourth (23.29) in a Rank Limit - Grade 5 at this track. Can turn it around this time. NOLAN BALE (2) can play a role in the finish without surprising.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage eighth last time out over 400m at this track. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.
