Geelong   24 May 2024
 
GOING: S

UFinancial Handicap 1143m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 8m 1700m - 800m. Out 10m Remainder.  

Expecting Trebel Rebel to set a genuine tempo. SAVEE (11) just missed at Kyneton second-up and has more to give. She maps for a soft run and is proven third-up. Childs sticks and that's a decent push for her chances. DARCEANDERMILL (4) led unexpectedly at Mornington second-up and was beaten 1L. He is back on track and is still shy of his peaks. Fitter and should go close. RED HAWK (1) settled back at Werribee first-up and did a good job beaten 1.5L. Keeps the handy 2kg claim and will likely sit closer today. He's won second-up and is a hope. SOME SHEILA (8) resumes for the Littlefield barn and draws inside. Has claims if presented more forward this time around. CITALEON (5) mixed the form but resumes with Rawiller booked and would be around the mark at best. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Savee.
