Geelong Race 4

Merv Jennings Signs

Stake: $1,683

MARINO (1) produced a modest effort most recently when sixth at Ballarat over 390m behind Western's Bear (23.39) in a Grade 5. Has claims if he runs up to expectations. CHERRY RED (8) finds it hard to break through. Finished in the minors latest when third (23.36) at this track and may be close to breaking through. Form here at the trip sound including two wins. Leading chance. MR. FLASH (6) turned in a moderate effort last time when eighth at Ballarat over 390m behind Elusive Barb (22.85) in a Grade 5. Comes through a solid form race last start. One of the better hopes. SAM'S BOY (7) cannot be written off despite a miss here at his latest outing.

Improved sharply when third behind Georgie Bale at this track last start over 400m (23.36). Gets back so might need a bit of luck.
