Geelong Race 12 - Free Admission To All Race Meets

ZIVA DIVA (1) has some solid form under her belt and proved too strong last time to win by 0.8 lengths at Ballarat in a handy 25.43 beating Let's Cause Kaos. Was a winner at her only start from this draw. The hardest to beat again. PAW BASTOW (7) jumped favourite and was too quick with an all-the-way win last start (23.45) at Horsham in a Grade 5 over 410m. Has a solid record from this box including five wins and a minor placing. Can make it back-to-back wins. SANTORINI BALE (2) doesn't win out of turn. Hit the board with a minor placing last time when second (23.12) at this track. Must be included in calculations. CRUISING NAT (5) pinged the lids and wasn't headed last time. Will be thereabouts.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split and ran away with a 0.8 lengths win at Ballarat over 450m in 25.43. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last time. Worth following up.
