Geelong Race 13

Prize Money: $1,530

TINKER PAT (2) doesn't have the best strike-rate but recent form is sound. Finished in the minors last time when third (22.43) at Ballarat making it back to back placings. Solid record here winning eight races. Sure to be about the mark. RUSHMORE RED (8) stalked the lead and fought on well to finish 2.75 lengths away in second (23.17) at this track in a Grade 5 over 400m. Expecting another good run. BISMUTH (7) has been in super consistent form recently with two minors on end before missing the frame latest finishing fourth (26.44) at Warrnambool. Has a good record here at this journey. Has ability and can atone. SLIPPERY SHARK (1) is likely to have admirers.

Could only manage sixth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when third (23.40) over 400m at Warragul. Has a squeeze box to navigate and appears tested on latest effort.

Could only manage fourth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when second (22.57) over 390m at Warrnambool. Has a wide draw to navigate and will need everything to go his way.
