Geelong Race 9

Sportsbet Final

Stake: -

FEELIN' FREE (5) is a smart beginner who has shown good improvement at her last two starts, the latest scoring at this track over 460m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in her latest win. Can make it back-to-back wins. CACO MISSILE (1) had the drop on the lead before drawing clear to score (23.75) at Horsham in Maiden over 410m. The form from his last run stacks up well. Sure to be thereabouts. NEWHAVEN ELSIE (6) produced an impressive win last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by 2.25 lengths (25.82) at Ballarat. Must include in calculations. MARSHALL BEAR (2) must be included in calculations.

Ran above expectations when making debut but immediately off the mark, scoring by half a length at Horsham over 410m (23.75). Returned in great order and can make it back to back wins.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors two back when second (30.49) over 525m at The Meadows. Draws an inside box and in the mix on his best form.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 2 lengths over 460m at this track in a handy 26.02, beating Tiger Rocks. In-form and measures right up. Hard to beat.

Caught the eye with a fast early split and setting up a 2.25 lengths win at Ballarat over 450m in 25.82. Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.
