Geelong Race 5 - Sportsbet Blackbook
TINKER DOT (8) has a strong record this track and trip with six wins and five placings from 14 starts. Scored by half a length last time (22.93) in a Rank Limit - Grade 5 over 400m at this track. Looks suited and should go close. FANCY FAYE (7) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing fifth (23.04) in a Grade 5 at this track. Likely to be about the money. REDEEMER BELLE (4) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (22.64) last time in a Grade 5 at Ballarat. Form here at the trip sound including two wins. Has ability and can measure up. RUTH'S COMMANDER (1) cannot be overlooked following a recent top-three finish.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (23.04) in a Grade 5, finishing a 9 length fifth. Has never missed the frame from three starts from the draw, including a win. Makes strong appeal.
