Geelong Race 9

Hugh Emmerson Memorial

Stake: $4,492

GREYSYND SAMMY (1) continued his winning form with another strong run after leading recording back to back wins, scoring by 1.75 lengths (37.08) at Shepparton over 650m. Can continue the winning form. MEPUNGA LARA (2) goes very well this trip starting 13 times for five wins and four minors. Placed last time (42.31) at Sandown in a Special conditions race, finishing second and beaten 7 lengths. With even luck and a clean start should be around the money. ENGELKE ROAD (7) turned in a solid run last start over 600m at The Meadows finishing 4th and beaten only 5 lengths (34.85). Will give the top chances plenty to think about. STACY'S MUM (5) is new to this track but not to be underestimated.

Quickly out of the boxes with a slick early sectional clocking 37.08 with a 1.75 lengths win at Shepparton over 650m. Form strong and a huge chance to register the hat-trick.

Comments

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (42.31) at Sandown over 715m. Found one better last time. Well placed and worth following up.

Has been in the minor money the last two runs, the latest at big odds finishing third (34.89) at Sandown. Awkward draw to overcome. Looks tested in this line-up.

Has finished fifth at the last two runs, both at The Meadows, the latest when beaten 5.5 lengths behind Belair Ethyl over 600m. Leading chance on best form.

Didn't make the placings last time at The Meadows (34.85) in a Grade 5, finishing a 5 length fourth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Among the chances on best.
