Geelong Race 10

Sportsbet Pink Diamond Veterans Final

Stake: $32,940

FUNNY OLD FELLOW (7) shapes well for this after a scintillating last start success, getting around Ballarat over 390m in 21.70. In form and must include in calculations. GUNAI BOLD (4) is a well performed dog and winner of 32 races who was in the minor money last time out at Shepparton (22.24). Has a good record here at this journey.

Found the going tougher last start when third over 390m at Shepparton. That followed a win two back in 16.70 beating Funny Old Fellow over 300m at Healesville. Prefer in something easier.
