Geelong Race 8

Geelong Derby Ht2

Prize Money: $3,360

CANYA TALK NOW (3) had been in sparkling form with a five start winning streak coming to an end last time finishing second (29.83) at Sandown. Strike rate this distance strong having won eight of nine tries. Super consistent and looks a key player. PAW WINDER (8) boasts a consistent overall record including nine wins from 28 starts, the latest hitting the minor money when second (29.49) over 520m at Wentworth Park. Solid record at this trip including three wins. Looks suited and expected to run well. MAXI GRIN (1) was a quick 29.56 winner of a Free For All at Sandown last start. This tougher but looks a leading chance again. TANDANYA (2) form at this distance reads well.

Good performance to win by a neck at Sandown over 515m (29.56) beating Indian Prince in Free For All on October 19. Can make it back to back wins.

Jumped well at The Meadows two runs back then again settled forward and finished second at Sandown last start over 515m. Has run blistering time here with a 25.52 PB at the distance. Hard to beat.

Found the going tougher last start when third over 425m at Bendigo. That followed a win two back in 22.17 beating Paw Rival over 390m at Ballarat. Minor place prospects only.

Finished in the minors last time but the start prior was an effortless winner scoring by 8 lengths in a NG at Wentworth Park and clocking a scintillating 29.28 over the 520m trip. Should be in this for a long way.
