Geelong Race 11

Rsn Grey Areas - Wednesday & Friday

Prize Money: $2,925

KELLY JANE (6) goes very well this trip starting 15 times for five wins and five minors. Was out of placings last time (23.23) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing seventh and beaten 13 lengths. Rates on top and should go close. GEANI BALE (4) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing fourth (22.51) in a Grade 5 at Shepparton. Has never missed the frame here at the trip from three starts. Leading chance. DIG DAG (3) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at Bendigo over 425m behind Swanky Chic (24.69) in a Grade 5. Likely to play a prominent role. BLACKPOOL MONARO (7) is one of the chances after a minor prize in a tight go last start.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished fourth over 390m at Shepparton, beaten 7 lengths (22.68) behind Mick Says So in a Special conditions Veteran race on November 18. Happy to risk in this.
