Geelong Race 10

Mme Slat Gates (1-2 Wins)

Stake: $1,683

NOAH DEAR (6) doesn't win out of turn. Hit the board with a minor placing last time when third (23.20) at this track. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings five times from six starts. Sure to be about the mark. STARLIGHT SIENNA (8) was quickly into stride and burnt early from out wide where she gave a sight, finishing second (23.05) and beaten 2.75 lengths over 400m at this track. Can feature again. PINOT GRIGIO (7) finds it hard to break through. Has been in the money the last three starts, the latest when third (25.03) at Sale. Leading player again. HOW DELIGHTFUL (4) is sure to play a big role again after a run of minor placings.

Has finished seventh at his last couple of starts, most recently at Ballarat over 390m. Will not find this easy. Not keen.

Comments

Form has been solid with minor placings at her last three starts. Last time out finished 3rd on April 8 over 390m at Ballarat behind Pine Bluff beaten 4.5 lengths (22.70) in a T3 Grade 7. Deserves a win and is expected to run well again.

Flew the lids with a fast early split and led until late but gathered in when a 4.5 lengths third at this track over 400m in 23.20. More than capable and has to be included.

Racing well without winning, recording three minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when third (25.03) over 435m at Sale. Right in the mix here.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (23.05) at this track over 400m. Key chance on best form.
