Geelong racing tips

Race 1. (13:30) Viatek Fujifilm Maiden (1112m)

#1 – Blue Moon Summit @ $4.20

Punters get each-way odds for Blue Moon Summit, who improved to run second at Geelong last time out.

Both career runs have come at Geelong, so he has good experience here, and it won’t take him long to break maidens.

Barrier two is ideal, so include him in picks.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 2. (14:00) Ladbrokes Form Genius Maiden (1212m)

#13 – Rohesia @ $4.40

Rohesia ran third on debut at Flemington before finishing sixth at Caulfield behind McGaw, in what was a good form race.

The three-year-old filly by Hanseatic is bred to be handy, and this level of racing shouldn’t hold her form much longer.

Getting $4.40 is much better than what we expected, so include her in picks.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 3. (14:30) Connecttel Maiden (1312m)

#1 – Acelum @ $5.00

Acelum showed good speed last season when placing in his first two starts at Pakenham and Sandown.

The four-year-old son of The Autumn Sun has looked good at the jumpouts to prepare for this race, and we’re happy with the odds available.

Getting the inside draw is another positive, so include him in each-way picks.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 4. (15:00) Rex Gorell Volkswagen Maiden (1512m)

#5 – Supremacy @ $8.00

Supremacy is better than his form suggests, and we’re prepared to give him another chance.

The four-year-old son of Extreme Choice opened at double-figure odds before firming, and we expect those odds to continue to firm.

He only needs cover from the draw to figure in the finish.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (15:30) Roderick Insurance Brokers Handicap (1512m)

#5 – Tournelle @ $4.20

Tournelle looks to cap off three consecutive placings with a win, and she’s consistent enough to figure in the finish at each-way odds.

The Freedman-trained mare owns a win and three placings from eight starts, and any easing of the surface works in her favour.

Money has come for her, so it could pay to follow any betting moves.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 6. (16:00) McGrath Estate Agents BM64 (1715m)

#4 – Active Duty @ $5.50

Active Duty didn’t jump well last start when finishing eighth at Geelong, but punters should expect a much better effort this time around.

The Lindsay Smith-trained gelding is never too far away from the prize with two wins and six placings, so she’s always worth including in picks.

Barrier five should see her settle handy and be right in the finish.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 7. (16:30) Auswide Plumbing & Civil Handicap (1312m)

#2 – Jewel Bay @ $5.50

Jewel Bay needs early luck from the wide barrier, but he has enough ability to handle this level of opposition.

The Andrea Leek-trained gelding showed good form when running fourth at Geelong two back, and he should have appreciated that experience.

The $5.50 odds make him a worthwhile bet.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 8. (17:05) Gary Good Coffee BM58 (1212m)

#10 – Home Zone @ $3.70

Home Zone is shortening in betting markets following a ninth at Sandown, but she is a much better runner than that run suggests.

The four-year-old daughter of Written Tycoon owns a win and two placings from five starts, so she looked good prior to that effort.

We recommend taking the odds before she shortens.

Stake: 2 Units
