Geelong has eleven races on Tuesday afternoon, starting at 3:24pm. Nine are over 400m and two are over 460m. Most races are Grade 5, so the best recent form and good early speed matter most.
Our best bet is Cheeky Streak in Race 10. Eagle Tegan in Race 11 is the shortest favourite and is better used in a multi. Off The Beer in Race 8 is our value play.
Race 1 - Maiden (400m)
Selection: Paw Wanda (2) Current odds: $3.00
Paw Wanda has placed in each of her last three starts and has shown more early speed lately. This looks like a good chance to win at last. Oza Stellar showed good speed when placed here last start and should be near the lead. Fearless Bear is scratched.
Selections:
- Paw Wanda (2) - $3.00
- Oza Stellar (4) - $3.40
- Ghost Hunter (3) - $4.60
- Monelli Girl (8) - $5.50
Race 2 - Restricted Win (400m)
Selection: Quiet Achiever (2) Current odds: $3.20
Quiet Achiever won well at Ballarat two starts ago and should be able to lead from box two. Run Barra Run has been racing well and is strongest in the middle of the race, so it is the main danger. Midori Axe begins well and is better than its last two runs.
Selections:
- Quiet Achiever (2) - $3.20
- Run Barra Run (4) - $4.20
- Midori Axe (7) - $5.00
- Sassy Belle (1) - $6.00
Race 3 - Grade 6 (400m)
Selection: Dollar Science (5) Current odds: $3.00
Dollar Science begins quickly and should reach the lead soon after the start. With two vacant boxes in the field, the early running should be clear. Snapper Head has plenty of ability but does not win often. It should still finish close. Paw Vitali has placed in four of its last six starts.
Selections:
- Dollar Science (5) - $3.00
- Snapper Head (8) - $3.60
- West End Boy (2) - $4.40
- Paw Vitali (4) - $5.50
Race 4 - Grade 5 (400m)
Selection: Quick Aussie (4) Current odds: $3.20
Quick Aussie won well at Ballarat two starts ago and should be hard to beat if it begins well. Impress Carter returns from a break but won at Shepparton in July and is the main danger. Zipping Glinda has run better than its results suggest.
Selections:
- Quick Aussie (4) - $3.20
- Impress Carter (8) - $4.20
- Zipping Glinda (1) - $7.50
- Paw Jelani (2) - $6.00
Race 5 - Grade 5 (400m)
Selection: James’s Entity (7) Current odds: $1.90
James’s Entity has led all the way to win its last two starts and is back in form. It is the dog to beat but the price is short. Red Hot Pretty won here leading all the way three starts ago, and Cruisin’ Grae led for a long way at Bendigo two starts ago. Both are each-way chances.
Selections:
- James’s Entity (7) - $1.90
- Red Hot Pretty (8) - $4.60
- Cruisin’ Grae (2) - $5.50
- Blame Spencer (4) - $8.00
Race 6 - Grade 5 (400m)
Selection: Paw Verity (4) Current odds: $3.80
Paw Verity has run well in its last two starts here and has the speed to lead all the way. Just Believe is the favourite. This race is much easier than its recent races, so it is the clear danger. Paw Larry led all the way to win at Ballarat two starts ago. Fire Tears is scratched.
Selections:
- Paw Verity (4) - $3.80
- Just Believe (3) - $2.00
- Paw Larry (2) - $7.50
- Bend Your Ear (6) - $6.50
Race 7 - Mixed 4/5 (400m)
Selection: Ziva Bale (3) Current odds: $3.20
Ziva Bale returns after a few months off but has plenty of ability and looks well placed in this race. Big Mako is very fast once it gets going and races along the rail from box one, so it is the main danger. Got Immunity is well drawn in box eight and can race on the speed.
Selections:
- Ziva Bale (3) - $3.20
- Big Mako (1) - $4.20
- Got Immunity (8) - $5.50
- Put It Together (6) - $5.50
Race 8 - Grade 5 (460m)
Selection: Off The Beer (6) Current odds: $4.20
Off The Beer is our value play. It won last start after some tough races and can win again. Voltage Strike is the favourite. It can be hard to follow but finishes very strongly, so it is the main danger. Turn Up Turbo has won two recent races and is also a danger.
Selections:
- Off The Beer (6) - $4.20
- Voltage Strike (8) - $3.60
- Turn Up Turbo (7) - $5.00
- Bronze (1) - $6.50
Race 9 - Restricted Win (460m)
Selection: Somebody Told Me (8) Current odds: $3.20
Somebody Told Me begins quickly and should be hard to catch if it can cross to the lead from box eight. Twenty Knots is the favourite after placing here in two of its last four starts. Food Fight has been racing well and should be near the lead.
Selections:
- Somebody Told Me (8) - $3.20
- Twenty Knots (5) - $2.80
- Food Fight (2) - $4.20
- Big White Skier (7) - $5.50
Race 10 - Grade 5 (400m)
Selection: Cheeky Streak (6) Current odds: $2.80
Cheeky Streak is our best bet of the day. She has won her last two starts and finishes strongly from the middle of the race. Prawn And Order is the main danger because this race is easier than her recent races. Collinda Pops has drawn box one and placed here four starts ago.
Selections:
- Cheeky Streak (6) - $2.80
- Prawn And Order (3) - $3.80
- Collinda Pops (1) - $5.00
- Snoopy (2) - $6.50
Race 11 - Grade 5 (400m)
Selection: Eagle Tegan (7) Current odds: $1.60
Eagle Tegan is better than these rivals and has won her last two starts. She should win if she begins cleanly. At $1.60 she is best used in a multi. Little Miss May is strong in the middle of the race and finds this easier than her recent races. Carnival Kid won well before getting injured last start and is a chance if fully fit.
Selections:
- Eagle Tegan (7) - $1.60
- Carnival Kid (2) - $4.80
- Little Miss May (3) - $7.00
- Paw Norn (4) - $10.00
