---|---|---|---|---|
Moderate pace on the cards with Sara Perche Tiamo taking up the running ahead of Three Jacks and Fly Girl. SARA PERCHE TIAMO (11) has finished just behind the placegetters in both her runs to date. Will find this a suitable assignment and gets her chance to get a win on the board. DO YOU DEAL (5) produced a solid debut effort at Pakenham before posting a disappointing effort at that track last time. Can bounce back here. GREENIDGE (10) has featured in the placings in three of her five starts to date. Is deserving of a breakthrough win and gets that chance here. FLY GIRL (9) hasn't been that far away in her past couple of efforts at Geelong and is expected to play a role in the outcome here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Back Sara Perche Tiamo and Do You Deal to win.
