Geelong Race 7

Rsn Grey Areas Wednesday And Friday

Stake: -

TORNADO TAHLIA (4) turned spotting a big start finishing fifth (22.35) last time in a Grade 5 at Ballarat. Solid record here winning six races. Has ability and is a key runner. SERIAL STICKER (3) goes very well at the course with nine wins and a placing from 11 starts. Missed the frame latest (20.42) when eighth over 350m at Grafton in a NG. Can feature with the right run. MEPUNGA SHINE (8) is generally an honest type in the frame at 15 of 43 starts but missed the placings last time when sixth (30.16) over 515m at Sandown. Has a good record at this journey. Will go close here with a clear run. HOTEL WHISKY ONE (7) is always a threat when he races at this journey.

Missed the frame latest (25.91) when sixth over 450m at Grafton in a Grade 4/5. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Will need the right run.

Ordinary effort last start when he got back too far over 350m at Grafton. Prior to that won by 2.25 lengths at Goulburn (19.62) beating Be Wowed in a NG on June 6. Strong form emerging from the that last run. Leading chance.

Finished off last campaign with a sixth (30.16) in a FFA at Sandown. Makes return after a 11 weeks break. Looks a key chance fresh.
