Geelong Race 9

Beachside Security

Prize Money: $2,925

BENARCA ROSE (8) produced a decent 22.62 when winning over 400m at this track last start. In winning form and can measure up again. GOLD DECK (3) jumped from this box and went down narrowly when a 0.9 lengths second (22.97) in a Restricted WIN at this track over 400m latest. Worth following up. PLAIN SAINT (1) is having his first start around this course. Missed the frame last time when 4th and beaten 5 lengths (22.83) at Warrnambool. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. AUTUMN POPPY (7) was well-backed but didn't perform as expected last time – can atone.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won by 1.3 lengths at Ballarat (22.57) beating Aston Twain in a T3 RSTW on October 19. Is a danger.

In the money last time at this track (22.97) in a Restricted WIN, finishing a 0.9 lengths second. Has one success and four minors from six starts from box 3. Looks a leading chance.

Solid performance to win by 0.9 lengths at this track over 400m (22.90) beating Gold Deck in Restricted WIN on October 23. Had found the frame two times on end before a deserved win most recently. Can go on with it.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (17.27) over 300m at Healesville. Boxed out wide and will need to find best.

Strong performance to win by 2.75 lengths at this track over 400m (22.62) beating Night And Day in Rank Limit - Maiden on October 20. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.
