Geelong Thorough Track.
R1 - Bidgee Barney was unlucky over his only try at this trip four runs back in a Midweek 0MW. He missed the jump last start and run was okay considering it was over a mile on a heavy track after a 43 day freshen. Jockey didn't push him over the final 100m and the run can be forgiven. At his best he would be too good and I'm guessing he will. Looking for $2.50.
R2 - Swirly Dream is the best horse in the race IMO, and last run was good. Babington looks the only real danger. Need $3.00
R3 - Barachetta was good last start in a 2200m maiden running a close second with a good gap to third. Notable that the trainer put this bloke in some 3yo Listed races as well as the VRC Derby. I liked the way Taste Test hit the line last start at his second race start. Barachetta is proven over the trip so happy to stick with him. Looking for $3.50
R5 - Gay Mill finished 2.4L fourth to the smart Joyeuse before its spell then was supported in betting but failed. A possible forgive run as it was on a slow track. Prepared to forgive that run based on the support. I liked the way Who's Ya Missus hit the line after racing wide on debut. The step up to 1300m looks ideal. Opting for Gay Mill but need $5 to play.
R6. I Have Dolphin Tycoon on top here and on last effort looks ready to win. Respect Record who is having first go at synthetic, I assume because he doesn’t like the wet. Only won 1 race, but has been competitive against better opposition than his and worth a speculator at 10 or better as he might just improve sharply. Has ability.
Dolphin Tycoon $4.50, Record - $10+
R7. Passing Salute is a synthetic (Geelong) specialist, and unbeaten at two goes here. Fairly keen. Need $5.00
Best: Bidgee Barney, Passing Salute, Swirly Dream.
