Geelong Race 5

LEAP OF FAITH (1) was quickly into stride and burnt early from the middle draw where she gave a sight, finishing second (22.70) and beaten 3 lengths over 400m at this track. Must come into calculations. HOLDEN BALE (8) has not raced since scoring (30.55) over 525m at Wagga ten weeks ago. Has a good overall strike-rate and can find the frame here. DUCHESS GEORGIA (6) is worth forgiving last start after finishing seventh (25.98) from Box 4 at Warrnambool over 450m. Form from her last run is proving to be solid. Better than last start and can bounce back. RUBY'S SHOW (3) was out of the frame here most recently but can atone.

Produced a good run, hitting the frame last run (22.70) at this track in a Grade 4/5. Has first look at box 1 this time. Key chance and should go close.

Missed the frame latest (24.04) when eighth over 410m at Horsham in a Grade 5. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and three places from 10 starts. Suited here and expected to run well.

Was out of the placings last time at this track but prior to that had been racing consistently, notching three minors in a row. Has a low draw but will need everything to go her way.

Good effort last time when third (24.27) over 425m at Bendigo. Drawn awkwardly. Will need plenty of luck.

Out of the placings last time but the run prior she recorded a decent 22.68 over 400m finishing second at this track. Rates a top chance if runs up to time two back.
