Geelong Race 6 - Petrel Hotel Social Club

IDYLLIC JAMES (2) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (25.96) at this track. Has a good record here at this journey. Boasts a strong record from this draw with three wins and three minor placings from seven starts. One of the leading chances. PAW HAZELTON (5) has proven too strong with wins at his last two, scoring by 4.5 lengths (25.21) last time and by 3 lengths (24.02) two back. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Can continue on with his winning form. CANDY STRIDE (1) filled a minor placing last start at Traralgon behind Cabao Opal (24.48) in a Grade 5. Has the pace to be prominent. Can measure up. JUST GOT PAID (3) cannot be ruled out.
