Geelong   12 Jul 2024
 
GOING: S

Steamatic Maiden Plate 1230m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 6m 1700m - 800m. Out 7m Remainder.  

Solid pace with Crepescule finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. BRACARDE (1) has had two starts to date and just found one better on both occasions, boxing on well for second to go down by a long neck last start at Mornington as an even money favourite. Rates highly in this line-up and draws for every chance. GRINZINGER GOLD (12) is a filly by Bated Breath on debut for the Danny O'Brien stable. She's jumped out very nicely and can run well on debut. ALL THE WAY BABY (9) is coming along nicely, placing at her past two outings. Gets D Lane aboard here and should take beating. DELIVERING (16) can improve. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bracarde to win.
