Geelong Race 5 - Dave And Mel Are Having A Baby
MAXI GRIN (8) was strongly supported last start when a short priced favourite and duly saluted winning by a neck at The Meadows in a handy 30.54. Outside box to overcome but has the ability and in winning form. Comes through a solid form race last start. Looks the testing material. RADAR O'REILLY (1) is better than last start when fourth (30.24) in a Mix 6/7 at Sandown over 515m. Worth another chance. LUSH HOUR (7) ran below her best last time finishing fifth (30.18) over 515m at Sandown in a Mix 6/7 H. Has ability and is one of the better chances. ASSUME FLOPPY (2) is worth some thought after placing last start.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished last on March 23 over 515m at Sandown behind Turn Up Turbo beaten 7 lengths (30.24) in a Mix 6/7. Leading chance who should prove hard to beat.

Hit the ground running last time with a fast early split and never headed, leading throughout to win by 2.25 lengths (26.38) over 460m at this track. Has hit winning form and is worth thought again.

Has been in the minor money the last two runs, the latest finishing second (26.45) at this track. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Prefer others.

Good performance after racing just off the speed to win by a neck at this track over 460m (26.48) beating Paw Luanne in Maiden on March 17. Likely to struggle this time.
