Geelong Race 3

Merv Jennings Signs

Stake: $3,218

WINTER GOES (7) goes very well this trip starting five times for two wins and two minors. In the money last time at Sale (24.62) in a Mix 6/7 H, finishing a 3 length third. Makes strong appeal on best. TOUCH OF SIN (2) hit the ground running from the squeeze draw with a slick early split, holding on for a minor placing when third and beaten 1.3 lengths at Warrnambool over 450m in 25.93. The form from her last run stacks up well. Leading chance. MAYBE RAIN (8) is better than last start when fifth (23.57) in a Restricted WIN at Horsham over 410m. Must be included in calculations. SPIKE SPIEGEL (5) is in the mix after placing here out of the same box time out.

Turned in a good run last time, placing (25.93) at Warrnambool in a Mix 6/7. Lines up from box 2 for the first time. Looks well placed and should feature.

Resumes from a three-and-a-half months spell and was in the minors at only other fresh up run, finishing third over 525m at The Meadows. Has been around the mark of late. Keep safe.

Has been in the money the last two runs. Finished third at Sale in 24.62 last time but the start prior recorded a good 22.78 over 400m finishing second at Warragul. Hard to top on the time from two back.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Warrnambool over 390m in 22.33. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 410m at Horsham at Restricted WIN level. Well placed and among the chances here.
