Geelong Race 6

Grv Vicbred Series Ht2

Stake: $3,218

FOR PETE'S SAKE (1) could manage only third at Sale last time but impressed when clocking a superb 22.41 over 400m at this track three starts ago. Hard to top on best recent times. DOCHERTY (2) is mixing form, missing the placings latest but was a winner three back and returns to 460m this time where he has performed well. Has the ability and expected to do much better. IF HE COULD (8) hasn't been far away here at the last two, finding the frame both times, most recently when third beaten 4.5 lengths (26.09). Has a good record here including a win and five placings. Form from his last run is proving strong. Likely to be in the finish again. ASTON PING (6) can feature with the right run.

Hit the frame at Sale last time when a 6 length third but did record a decent 24.49 over the 435m journey. Expected to go close with a repeat of latest.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at The Meadows over 525m in 30.30. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 485m at Horsham at Grade 4/5 level. Is a danger.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (34.66) at big odds over 595m at Sandown. Has a wide draw to navigate and prefer each-way.

Placed last time (26.09) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing third and beaten 4.5 lengths. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from three starts. Looks hard to beat with even luck.
