Geelong Race 4

Etu Vic Veterans

Stake: $3,568

BORACAY STORM (3) Nice effort when winning last start at Shepparton and strong performer at this trip. Maintaining a perfect record the last 2 attempts. Take beating. IDYLLIC JAMES (2) Chimed in with a win last run at Healesville and hard to fault at the distance. Won last 2 in succession. Capable of taking this out. MR. KIA ORA (1) Unimpressive effort when 6th last time at Ballarat but has a nice advantage with a good draw. Won't be far away and represents an each way player. SORRY I'M LATE (4) Did well when 2nd last start at Horsham. Very competitive this preparation. One of the chances.

Odds of $6.50 and fairly underwhelming when 6th last time at Ballarat but will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Not without a chance.

Was all too good winning last run at Healesville and proven runner at this trip. Undefeated last 2 runs. Should put in a decent effort.

Bold effort to win last start at Shepparton and ideal distance as proven previously. Unbeaten last 2 attempts. Should muster plenty of early toe. Will not be far away.
