Geelong Race 8

Sportsbet Every Dog Has Its Day

Stake: $3,696

FERNANDO PHIL (5) found some support last start but struggled into fourth (30.20), beaten 5 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Has winning claims on his best figures. BAY TUDOR (1) is a talented type and proved too strong last time to win by 4.5 lengths at this track in a handy 26.03 beating Tinker Mike. Has hit winning form and can go on with it. MR. KIA ORA (7) could manage only second but ran swift time (25.87) at Warragul over 460m. Smart time latest and looks a key chance on that form. QILIN BALE (2) hit the frame latest (30.16) when third at this track in a Special conditions H. Has already won four times from this draw.

Hit the ground running and set it up early clocking 26.03 with a 4.5 lengths win at this track over 460m. Can make it two on the bounce.

Showed brilliant pace early and gave a sight when a 4.5 lengths third over 520m this track in 30.16. Has been around the mark last couple and should make her presence felt.

Didn't make the placings last time at The Meadows (30.83) in a Grade 5, finishing a 7 length fifth. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and three places from nine starts. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Was among the placegetters latest at Warragul when a 1.75 lengths second but did clock a slick 25.87 over the 460m trip. Has the ability and looks hard to top.
