Geelong Race 6

Etu Vic Damsels Dash

Prize Money: $2,925

PAW VINE (4) was a winner two back then strongly fancied last time but could only manage a second (25.93) at this track. Good form should continue. PAW ELODEE (6) was a last start winner (27.56) from Box 7 at Horsham. Leading chance again. PURE SILK (7) broke a string of placings finishing in the money two on end before a last start fourth (26.15) at Ballarat. Some good form is emerging from her last run. Must be included in calculations. MORE THAN WORDS (1) has been a model of consistency and deserves plenty of thought.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start by 0.7 lengths at Traralgon (24.09) beating Aussie Wagyu in a Grade 5 on August 14. In top form and can make it three straight.

Could only manage eighth last time but the start prior hit the frame when third (25.97) over 450m at Warrnambool. Has a low draw and is worth plenty of thought.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Shepparton over 390m in 21.96. Followed that up with a minor placing over 425m at Bendigo at Grade 5 a week ago. Has the ability to be in the finish.

Found the going tougher last start when third over 500m at Bendigo. That followed a win two back in 19.72 beating Ishikawa Lass over 350m at Traralgon. Likely to struggle this time.

Hit the ground running last time with a fast early split and never headed, leading throughout to win by one length (27.56) over 485m at Horsham. Looks the one to beat.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th on August 12 over 450m at Ballarat behind Gamora Bale beaten 5.5 lengths (26.15) in a Restricted WIN. Placed two back at this track. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.
