Geelong Race 9

Millers Muzzles (1-3 Wins)

Prize Money: $2,925

ASTON GRANDEUR (6) charged out of the boxes with a strong early split and went straight to the front, scoring an all the way win (22.49) over 400m at this track. Comes out of a solid form race last start. The one to beat again. PAW TREACLE (4) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by 2.25 lengths at this track in a handy 22.60 beating Bash Boy Giblet. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Can make it two on the bounce. MANTIS BALE (5) hasn't been far away, finishing in the money twice in a row including last time in a Rank Limit - Grade 7 at this track over 400m. Can feature with the right run. MY MATE CHARLIE (1) must be respected at his pet track and distance.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 1.3 lengths over 400m at this track in a handy 23.02, beating Sergeant Bilko. Well suited by the draw. Has run a slick time here with a 22.66 PB at the distance. Worth including.
