Geelong Race 8 - Sportsbet More Places
FLASH OF GENIUS (4) finished in the placings last time but could not have been more impressive three back in his swift 25.77 win at this track over 460m. Rates a top chance if runs up to time three back. IDYLLIC JAMES (8) was out of the placings last time but shapes well for this on his dominant win the start prior, getting around this track over 460m in 25.72. Should be in this for a long way. REGAL HUXLEY (2) is worth forgiving last start after finishing fifth (25.58) at Ballarat over 450m. Has never missed the frame here at the trip from three starts. Has the ability to give this a shake. ASTON HERCULES (1) warrants respect following a recent placing over this course and distance.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 5 length third (25.98) over 460m at this track. Yet to be beaten in two starts out of this box. Must be respected.

Could manage only fifth last time but impressed the start prior when he clocked a hot 25.25 over 450m finishing second at Warrnambool. Expected to push the clock again here.

Hit the ground running with a fast early sectional but found one better when runner up over 460m at this track clocking 26.09. Looks a solid hope.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 460m. Last start finished 4th on February 27 over 460m at this track behind Paw Gordy beaten 5.5 lengths (26.02) in a Grade 4/5. Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.
