Geelong (G) Race 7

Topcat Video Productions

Stake: $3,159

PAW LEON (1) boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten a head (28.13) behind Vilma Bale at Bendigo. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Can go on with it. ASTON CASTLE (8) has mixed form recently, finishing fourth (25.87) in a Grade 5 at Ballarat latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Expecting sharp improvement this line-up. ABUNDANT LUMENS (2) finds it hard to win. Finished in the money last time though when second (26.44) at Warragul. Solid record at the distance winning two races. Has performed well from this box with a win and four minor placings to his name from nine starts. Winning chance. REUBEN HILL (4) should be thereabouts despite an unplaced run here most recently.

Comments

Racing well without winning, recording four minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when second (28.13) over 500m at Bendigo. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Pay to follow.

Could only manage seventh last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when third (26.49) over 460m at Warragul. Has a squeeze box to navigate and will need to find best.

Placed only run here over this trip. Latest effort finished 4th in a Grade 5 on July 16 over 450m at Ballarat behind Mr. Kia Ora beaten 2.5 lengths (25.87). Around the mark two starts back. Winning chance on that form.
