Geelong Race 9

Melbourne Container Park

Stake: $3,696

YAMGATA BALE (1) boasts a strong record this journey here with four wins and four minors from nine tries. Comes off a (22.35) win last time, scoring by 7 lengths in a Grade 5 over 400m at this track. Has the ability and should feature. QILIN BALE (4) missed the frame last time at The Meadows but just three runs back flew around 400m at this track in 22.58. Rates a leading chance if runs up to recent winning time. LEGGETT BALE (7) was a little disappointing last start at Ballarat when 5th (22.35) over 390m. Has never been out of the money this course and distance including one win. Cannot be underestimated. AUGUSTUS FINCH (2) scored by 7 lengths last time (21.77) in a Grade 4/5 over 390m at Shepparton. Has an unbeaten record from this draw, scoring three times.

In hot form winning his last three on end, the latest pinging the lids with a sensational early split and clocking 21.77 over 390m at Shepparton. In a purple patch of form and likely to run well again.

Didn't make the placings last time at The Meadows (30.51) in a Grade 5, finishing a 9 length seventh. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minors. Looks well placed and should feature.

Impressive performance leading throughout to score by 3 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at Warrnambool, clocking a brilliant 22.00 for the 390m trip. Harder here but worth including in multiples.

Good effort to win last start by 0.9 lengths over 390m at Warrnambool in a handy (22.03), beating Aston Cayenne. Will find this a bit tougher, solid win last time out but this looks tough.
