Geelong (G) Race 11

Rsn Grey Areas Wednesday And Friday

Stake: $3,159

MR. PERSUADER (4) has a strong record this track and trip including two wins from three starts. Comes off a (22.99) win last time, scoring by 2.5 lengths in a Grade 5 over 400m at Warragul. Expected to go close. THAT'S A BOODIE (7) last start finished 3rd in a Grade 5 on July 18 over 400m at this track behind Chilli Crumpet beaten 5.5 lengths (22.93). Looks one of the chances. EAT YOUR SPINACH (1) had been racing in honest fashion recording six placings in a row before finishing fifth (26.28) at this track latest. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to his name from five starts. One of the better hopes. LAURA MAY (2) was in the money last start and poses a threat again.

Was out of the placings at final run of last campaign, finishing eighth (23.00) at Shepparton before going for a seven months spell. Has never been out of the money from three first-up runs. Tough field and looking to others this time.
