Geelong (G) Race 7

Sportsbet Geelong Cup Ht3

Prize Money: $7,325

VISTA WEIRD (6) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fifth (29.71) in a NG at Wentworth Park. Has a good record at this journey. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and two minor placings to his credit. Better than last start and worth following up. EXTREME GRUNT (1) drew a squeeze box and was game in defeat when a close third, 1.5 lengths from the winner Son Of Ghost (26.04) at Warragul. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Will give a great sight again. DOONGALLA ROCKET (2) scored (27.18) last time out at Horsham adding to an already respectable career. Solid record here including two wins. Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. One of the leading chances again. PAW WAVERLY (3) has strong credentials from this draw.

Comments

Well supported last time and rocketed out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but had to settle for the minor money, finishing a 1.5 lengths third (26.04) over 460m at Warragul. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last time. Follow up.

In the money last time at Angle Park (30.41) in a OPEN, finishing a 3 length third. Goes very well from the draw boasting seven places from eight starts. Tough field and looking to others this time.
