Geelong Race 12

Np Electrical Veterans

Stake: $3,218

TINKER CRYSTAL (7) was in the placings last time but shapes well for this on her solid win the start prior, getting around Shepparton over 450m in 25.37. Can measure up again if runs up to recent best times. GUNAI BOLD (4) was a winner (25.39) at Shepparton two back but out of the placings last time when 6th at this track. Has a strong winning record here at this journey. The form out of last race has been strong. Must be included in calculations. MAXED OUT (6) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, the latest scoring at this track over 400m. Can go close again if runs up to latest figure. DROP FIFTY (1) placed in slick time last start - worth some thought.

Was out of placings last time (22.90) at this track in a Mix 3/4, finishing sixth and beaten 9 lengths. Box stats strong with five wins and two placings from nine starts. Key chance and should go close.
