Geelong Race 4

Etu Vic (250+Rank)

Stake: $1,836

ASTON GRANDEUR (8) Well beaten when 8th last run at this venue. Should improve from the last run and can find a nice position from the draw. Honest enough customer who is strongly placed. WHIZZ MAXIMUS (6) Finished 5th last time at The Meadows. Giving another go here but dropping back to a shorter trip. Won't be far away during the run. Worth strong consideration. PAW AMARLI (7) Couldn't stay in touch when 7th last run at Warrnambool. Expecting improvement here. Will be there at the finish. COME ON LUBA (4) Outgunned at the finish when 2nd last run at Warrnambool in 22.22s over 390m. In a purple patch of form this campaign. One to watch and an each way chance.
