Geelong (G) Race 5

Grv Vicbred Series Ht1

Stake: $3,159

CLEO'S STAR (5) was an impressive winner last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by 2.75 lengths (22.26) at this track. Looks a top chance again. CHEAP RED WINE (1) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only 3 lengths (19.18) at Healesville. Has a good winning strike rate at this journey. Shapes as one to consider. IMPEL (2) can keep on winning after decent last start success, claiming a Grade 4/5 at Warrnambool over 450m in 25.35. Has the ability and looks a key chance. BLACK STATESMAN (7) ran good time (25.85) when second last start over 460m at this track, the second placing in a row.

Was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, weakening late to finish a 3 length fourth (19.18) over 350m at Healesville. Has won four races from this box. Expected to feature.

Was out of placings last time (30.41) at The Meadows in a Grade 5, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths. Strong record off the draw with two wins and two minors from five starts. Makes appeal on best.

Was among the placegetters latest at this track when a 4 length third but did clock a brilliant 22.54 for the 400m trip. Looking to others this time.

Strong performance leading throughout to score by 2.75 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at this track, clocking a scintillating 22.26 over the 400m trip. In form and looks tough to beat again.

Looks close to another win after his success on June 25 at Ballarat over 450m. Last start was second over 460m in 25.85, behind Bombarda Maxima. Thereabouts at his last couple and is capable of better.

Charged out of the boxes with a slick early split and went straight to the front, giving a huge sight but headed late when a 3.5 lengths second (30.73) over 525m at The Meadows. Well performed from this box. In the mix.
