Geelong Race 7

Geelong To Sandown Ht3

Prize Money: $2,925

VOLTAGE STRIKE (3) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by 1.3 lengths at The Meadows in a handy 30.30 beating Kid Luck. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and three minor placings to his credit. Expected to be right there at the finish again. UTTER MADNESS (2) is an honest type who is having his first try here. Lines up here in winning form after scoring by 1.75 lengths from box three at Warragul (26.04). Bold showing expected again. PAW REX (7) was strongly fancied last time but ran below expectations when fourth (23.53), beaten 2 lengths. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to his name from six starts. Has ability and can measure up. FLYING DOORMAT (8) was below best last time at Ballarat (25.75) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 5.5 lengths seventh. Has two wins already from this draw.

Good effort to win last start by 1.2 lengths over 510m at Sale in a handy (29.20), beating Elle Gem. Will find this a bit tougher, in winning form but this a tough assignment.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start by 1.75 lengths at Warragul (26.04) beating Matilda Rose in a Grade 5 on July 29. Form strong and a huge chance to register the hat-trick.

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fourth (25.48) at Ballarat over 450m. Would be better placed in something easier.

Form has been solid with minor placings at her last four starts. Last time out finished 3rd in a Grade 5 on August 1 over 400m at Warragul behind July She Lied beaten 3.5 lengths (22.67). Prefer in something easier.

Showed strong early pace and stuck on well despite finishing out of the placings when fourth over 410m Horsham in 23.53. Look for improvement. Not out of it.
