Geelong (G) Race 4

Np Electrical

Stake: $3,159

SANTORINI BALE (2) is 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 (25.80) over 450m at Shepparton. Comes out of a hot form race last start. Can find winning form. HOLTORF BALE (1) finished well back at Sale last time when a 16 length sixth (25.87) but scored three back at this track (23.27). Should be in this for a long way. ACE IS FIRE (7) recorded his 3rd career win last time out (22.45) at Ballarat and drawn box 7 for the first time here. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Likely to be in the finish. TINKER JACK (4) cannot be ruled out.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished 6th on July 13 over 435m at Sale behind Olivia Lee Rose beaten 16 lengths (25.87) in a Grade 5. Tipped to improve sharply. Rates highly on best form.

Comments

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (25.80) at Shepparton over 450m. The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.

Drawn the outside box and could be suited with some luck. Goes ok at this track and distance but recent form not good enough, tempted to look elsewhere.
