Geelong racing tips
—
Cowarrie is knocking on the door of a win after posting consecutive placings at Benalla and Seymour, which is a good form guide.
The four-year-old son of Shamus Award meets a very even maiden field without many standout chances, so this race is there for the taking.
Barrier four is ideal, so put him clearly on top.
Stake: 3 Units
Blue Ismay was spelled following a fourth at Sale last start, and kicking off over 1547m should be right up his alley.
The four-year-old son of Expert Eye is bred to enjoy middle distances, and this stable knows how to get them up and running early.
Jamie Melham rides, which adds to our confidence.
Stake: 1 Unit
Looking to cap off three consecutive placings with a win is Getta Good Feeling, who placed at Geelong, Sandown, and Sale.
That form bodes well for racing at Geelong, and having form on the track helps when running third behind Green Spaces and Regal Award.
The form is solid since, so include him in picks.
Stake: 2 Units
Iberian Lynx is another runner looking to cap off two placings after getting a deserved spell.
The Hawkes-trained four-year-old ran third at Bendigo before placing at Geelong, and the spell would have only strengthened him up.
We expect a betting push on race day.
Stake: 1 Unit
Punters had to settle for second when backing Visual at Sandown last start, but she has an excellent chance to strike back.
The mare by I Am Invincible showed good pace when winning on debut at Hawkesbury, and that form is good enough to win in Victoria.
Ethan Brown takes the ride, and she should hit the line with power.
Stake: 2 Units
Active Duty doesn’t often run a bad race, and after posting a win and a placing from his last two starts, we’re happy to back him.
The five-year-old won at Geelong before placing at Morphettville behind Burning Bright, and he was only a nose behind.
Getting the inside draw is ideal, and he’s good enough to carry 62.5kg to victory.
Stake: 1 Unit
Boasting a win and a placing from three starts is Excenia, who scored at Bendigo before finding one better at Geelong fresh up.
She lost no admirers with that performance behind Edges Diamond, and although this isn’t an easy race, she’s good enough to win it.
Running second-up isn’t a worry, so she’s worth backing.
Stake: 1.5 Units
It’s good to see Hot Too Go running better this preparation, and he could mature into a handy midweek type this spring.
The four-year-old ran at Group 1 level last season, which took some time to recover from, but he looked good winning two back at Geelong.
Getting back to this track could be all he needs to win again.
Stake: 2 Units
