Geelong Race 9

Betavet Pace

Prize Money: $4,000

BOND GIRL (6) looks close to a win after putting a couple of placings together including a 3.7m second from the back row the last time she raced here last month. This looks a winnable assignment. SHIRALEE (4) draws lower than she has in recent outings and she did manage a good second from the back line at Melton last month. With her A-game she can be right in the finish. THE REGULATOR (3) last appeared nine months ago and has changed yards in that time. Draws well so expect a good effort to kick off this prep. RIVER PATROL NZ (1) gets the ace draw and is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance here.

Returns after nine months in the paddock. Finished off last campaign when well beaten into tenth after being driven well back, behind Favouritehighlight at Maryborough over 2190m on September 8 at $61. Draws well and could measure up.

Good performance when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second behind Pickle It at this track over 1609m on May 22 at $3.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third behind Theroux at Ballarat over 2200m on May 28 at $5.50. Looks ready to win again.

Didn't do much at the last run, was well back in the run when 7th (Fr6) over 1690m at Maryborough beaten 30 m by Zwick (2:03.00) on May 11 at $101. Before that 7th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 30 m by The Mountain (1:59.30) on May 8 at $19. This looks too tough.
