Geelong racing tips
—
Team Freedman lines up Caffettiera, who is on debut for the powerful Godolphin operation.
The three-year-old filly by Too Darn Hot wasn’t asked for much in a recent Caulfield trial, and she’s bred to show early speed.
Having Blake Shinn riding is the best form guide, so put her on top.
Stake: 1.5 Units
Irreverent didn’t fire on debut at Geelong when running sixth, but she improved nicely to finish third at Sandown last time out.
The three-year-old filly by I Am Invincible enjoyed the rise in distance to 1300m, and although she ran as a $151 chance, she was way over the odds.
She comes from a good stable, and we’re happy with the odds available.
Stake: 1 Unit
Looking to go one better than his debut second placing is Savisanta, who ran second at Geelong behind Decanted.
It was a good effort for her debut run, and the form has checked out well since, so we’re happy to include her in our picks.
Having a strong rider in Ben Melham in the saddle is another bonus.
Stake: 1.5 Units
Olivia Rose has improved with every run under her belt, culminating with a third placing at Mornington.
The four-year-old mare by Written Tycoon is bred to win races this spring, and she will only improve with the run under her belt.
It’s a tricky field, but the each-way odds make her a worthwhile bet.
Stake: 1 Unit
Punters had to settle for second when backing Visual at Sandown last start, but she has a 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.
It’s another good ride for Shinn, who could have a big day at Geelong.
Stake: 3 Units
Shakib is better for two runs back from a spell, and rising to 2460m should see his best form return.
He won over 2000m last season, and although it wasn’t a strong field, the eight-year-old is good enough to beat this midweek field.
The odds make him a worthwhile bet in a BM62 field.
Stake: 1 Unit
Seeking back-to-back wins is Tagline, who scored by just under a length at Mornington as a $1.55 favourite.
Punters get better odds this time around for the three-year-old son of Tagaloa, and he could rise through the grades in fine style.
If he gets luck from barrier 11, he could finish over the top of them.
Stake: 2 Units
Boasting a win and four placings is McAdam, who wasn’t too far away when fifth at Bendigo last time out.
The four-year-old son of Snitzel has yet to finish worse than third in three starts over the distance, so he should enjoy the 1540m distance.
It’s not a strong field, so he could take advantage.
Stake: 2 Units
