Geelong Race 9 - Sportsbet Geelong Cup Ht5
ZELDA COVILHA (5) was game in defeat when finished in the minors last start over the 520m at Wentworth Park, running a handy 29.74 in a Grade 4/5. Hard to top on the time from last start. GIACOMO (7) missed the frame latest when seventh at Sandown (29.86) but scored five back at Cannington (29.49). Has a solid record over this journey. A big run wouldn't surprise. RIVERSDALE MICK (1) drew a squeeze box and was game in defeat when a close second, one length from the winner Jetstream Icon (30.27) at The Meadows. Boasts a strong record from this draw with three wins and two minor placings from five starts. Will give a great sight again. TRENDY TOMMY (2) can run a bold race on best form.

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a one length second (30.27) over 525m at The Meadows and making it two placings on end. Expected to go very well.

Could only manage sixth last time but the start prior hit the frame when second (30.32) over 525m at The Meadows. Aided by a low draw and is among the better hopes.

In the money last time at Wentworth Park (29.74) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 2 length second. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed five times. Looks suited and should go close.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 5 lengths in 25.70, beating Mepunga Brockie. Last start finished 7th over 515m at Sandown beaten 7 lengths (30.00) behind Typhoon Baylee in a Grade 4/5 on April 2. Tempted to look elsewhere.
