Geelong racing tips

—

Race 1. (13:30) John Lyng Group Maiden (1175m)

#6 – Lucky Jay @ $3.20

BET NOW

Looking to win on debut is Lucky Jay, who showed good enough speed at the jumpouts.

The two-year-old daughter of Lucky Vega is in good hands with Danny O’Brien and having Craig Williams in the saddle is ideal.

We’re happy with the $3.20 available from bookies.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 2. (14:00) Ladbrokes Form Genius Maiden (1247m)

#4 – Jessica Rabbit @ $2.40

BET NOW

Jessica Rabbit didn’t fire last time out at Caulfield in a tough race at Group 3 level, but this is a much easier assignment.

The three-year-old filly by Written Tycoon showed better speed when placing on debut at Ballarat, so that’s a better form guide.

Getting the inside draw is enough to see her win.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 3. (14:30) The Elephant & Castle Hotel Maiden (1247m)

#3 – Burleigh @ $6.50

BET NOW

Punters get each-way odds with Burleigh, who placed at Horsham and Ararat, which is a good enough form guide.

The three-year-old son of Blue Point looked like he needed a few runs under his belt, and it could be time to strike now.

Include him in selections at value odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (15:00) Heads to Tails Horseware Maiden (1447m)

#7 – Cushioned @ $6.00

BET NOW

Godolphin doesn’t usually miss with its debut runners and Cushioned could make an early impression for the Freedman stable.

The three-year-old filly by Ghaiyyath is bred to be a nice type, and getting an inside barrier only helps her chances of winning.

We expect money to come for her on race day.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (15:30) Happy Birthday Craig Wilding BM62 (1547m)

#6 – Salchow @ $12.00

BET NOW

Looking to get back to winning form is Salchow, who ran fourth at Geelong last time out, which is a tidy enough form guide.

The five-year-old son of Tivaci runs his best races on good surfaces, and the conditions should be ideal on Thursday.

3kg comes off his back, which is enough to take him close.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (16:00) Rossy Pest Services BM62 (1765m)

#10 – Subtle Power @ $4.00

BET NOW

Improving with every run this campaign is Subtle Power, who placed at Geelong and Pakenham at her last two starts.

The five-year-old mare by Savabeel opened at $3.70 before drifting to $4, but we’re not worried by the betting drift.

Jamie Mott is riding well, so his confidence levels are up.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 7. (16:30) MJL Electrics BM62 (1147m)

#9 – Cavern @ $3.60

BET NOW

Cavern is a good chance to get back to winning form following a fourth at Caulfield behind Mr Magnus.

The three-year-old colt by Brazen Beau showed good speed when winning on debut at Bendigo, which should be a good form guide.

Barrier three is ideal, so everything points towards a win.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 8. (17:00) Calibre Workforce BM62 (1347m)

#5 – Chewing Gum @ $2.60

BET NOW

Chewing Gum has been teasing punters with a win after another strong placing last time out at Geelong.

We thought she was a touch unlucky not to win that race, and she is much better than a one-win type, so she should be tough to beat.

Take the $2.60 before money comes for her.

Stake: 3 Units
