Geelong Race 8

Topcat Video Productions (275+Rank)

Stake: $1,912

SIMPLY PETITE (3) Looked good when 2nd last start at the track. Displays very good closing speed. Go close. STILL BELIEVE (7) Came in 3rd last start around here and form has been improving over recent runs. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Respect. KADE'S THUNDER (2) Backs up quickly. Strong performance to win last start at Ballarat and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Each way. ASTON BOOST (6) First up after a break. Disappointing display when 7th last run at Healesville. Has shown early pace in races to date. Can make a claim in this race and is a strong each way hope.

Odds of $81.00 and lost ground in the run home when 5th last run at the track but drawn the rails. Should come to hand quickly. This field likely to be too good.

Resuming after a spell. Jumped at $8.00 and subpar when 7th last run at Healesville. Should be going forward early. Can go close.

Started $11.00 and struggled when 5th last run at Healesville but back to an increased distance. Has a positive draw. Low-key chance.
