Geelong Race 6

Gary Brett Memorial

Prize Money: $14,575

ETHANOL WATER (7) goes very well here starting six times for two wins and two minors. Missed the frame latest (42.54) when fourth over 720m at Wentworth Park in a NG. Expected to go close. SHAKE AND BAKE (1) was out of in the placings when seventh last time but prior to that clocked a sharp 34.17 win over 595m at Sandown. Should be in this for a long way. RAYA STAR (2) shapes well for this on her superb win a few runs back, getting around Shepparton over 650m in 37.07 then hitting the frame in both runs since. Should be in this for a long way. REITERATE (3) missed the frame latest (42.58) when sixth over 720m at Wentworth Park in a NG. Has already won two times from this draw.

Could only manage sixth last time but the start prior hit the frame when second (43.04) over 730m at The Meadows. Has a decent strike-rate off the draw and is among the better hopes.
