Geelong Race 8

Beachside Security

Stake: -

PAW FREDRICK (3) finished in the minors last start over the 460m at this track but ran a quick 25.86 last start. Has the ability and expected to go close again. ZIPPING GATSBY (2) made it two minor placings on the trot when beaten second (30.17) in a Grade 4/5 at Richmond last time out. Can find the frame this time. DOONGALLA DON (1) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by 4 lengths at Sandown in a handy 29.57 beating Here Comes Dezel. Bold showing expected again. FERNANDO PHIL (4) deserves plenty of thought over this journey.

Strong performance after racing just off the speed to win by 4 lengths at Sandown over 515m (29.57) beating Here Comes Dezel in Grade 4/5 on July 24. Can make it two on the bounce.

Nearing another win after his success on April 24 at Albion Park over 520m. Last start was second over 520m in 30.17, behind Grand Blazer. The form from last run stacks up well. Hard to beat.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Warragul over 460m. Last start finished 2nd over 460m at this track beaten 1.5 lengths (25.86) behind Wyong Dallas in a Grade 4/5 on July 25. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.

Had been in solid form before missing the frame at the latest appearance when fifth (34.81) at Sandown. Tough draw to overcome and will need everything to go his way.
