Geelong racing tips

Race 1. (13:10) Ladbrokes Form Genius Maiden (1125m)

#6 – Oliveanotherday @ $2.40

Oliveanotherday did well to run second on debut at Warrnambool, and he’s good enough to go one better.

We wouldn’t mind him setting closer to the pace, but his turn-of-foot looks good enough for him to post many wins.

Take the $2.40 odds before money comes for him.

Stake: 2.5 Units

Race 2. (13:45) Prestige Jayco Geelong Maiden (1225m)

#1 – Act Natural @ $4.20

Looking to cap off five consecutive placings with a win is Act Natural, who shouldn’t go too much longer without winning.

The four-year-old son of Royal Meeting ran second at Pakenham last start, and coming to Geelong should only help his chances.

He will head forward and be tough to run down.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (14:20) Roderick Insurance Brokers Maiden (1425m)

#3 – Smother @ $9.50

Smother went close when running second at Geelong last time out, and punters get value odds for him to go one better.

The four-year-old son of All Too Hard turned his form around nicely, and we believe he has always had potential to rise through the grades.

Given the $9.50 odds, we’re including him in picks.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (14:55) Geelong Taxi Network Maiden (2440m)

#6 – Wallenberg @ $4.20

We’re snapping up the each-way odds for Wallenberg, who improved to finish second at Ballarat last time out.

The four-year-old son of Shamus Award is nearing a win, and getting out to 2440m only helps his chances of winning.

He’s good enough to win, so take the odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (15:30) Shamus Award at Rosemont Stud BM66 (2440m)

#2 – Bring Forth @ $2.45

Coming off a dominant win at Moe is Bring Forth, who has a good chance of going back-to-back.

The four-year-old son of Turn Me Loose owns two wins and seven placings from 12 starts, which is an excellent record.

Getting 1.5kg off his back is enough to take him close.

Stake: 2.5 Units

Race 6. (16:10) McGrath Estate Agents C1 (1225m)

#13 – Rohesia @ $3.10

Rohesia knuckled down and scored nicely last time out, and she is good enough to rise through the grades.

The three-year-old filly by Hanseatic will need luck from a wide draw, but she settle handy and show a good turn-of-foot.

Take the $3.10 odds before more money comes for her.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 7. (16:50) Briseis Gold Cup BM66 (1125m)

#11 – Sea Poem @ $9.50

Sea Poem was too good for them at Bairnsdale last time out, winning at $7.50 odds, which is a great price.

The four-year-old mare by Pierata will need a touch of luck from the draw, but she’s good enough to overcome it.

Getting $9.50 is much better than expected.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 8. (17:30) Bennett Racing BM56 (1425m)

#7 – Mrs Secombe @ $4.80

Mrs Secombe finished second at Geelong last time out, which is an excellent form guide for this race.

The four-year-old mare by Harry Angel owns a win and three placings from seven starts, and she’s in good hands with Robert Hickmott.

Take the each-way odds available with bookmakers.

Stake: 2 Units
