Geelong Race 3

Sportsbet Every Dog Has Its Day

Stake: $1,683

LITTLE WHIP (1) drew the squeeze box and managed to fill the frame when second (17.09) at Healesville in Grade 5. Missed the frame only look here. Deserves a win and gets her chance. NOLAN BALE (8) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (22.65) last time in a Grade 5 at Shepparton. Likely to be about the money. HE'S SO TOUGH (7) turned in a plain effort last time when eighth at Healesville over 300m behind Zippi Mustang (17.33) in a Grade 5. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to his name from six starts. Key player if finds best. CRACKERJACK BERN (2) is always a threat when he draws this box.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 17.09 over 300m at Healesville. Expected to go very well.

Backs up after winning by 0.7 lengths at Ballarat (22.60) beating Sleek Monique in a Grade 5 on April 12 four days ago. This is much harder assignment and she needs to find another gear.
