Geelong Race 10 - Geelong To Sandown Park Ht3
DA SOUZA (7) is a smart dog who ran the fastest time on the card last time scoring by 4.5 lengths (24.92) at Ballarat. Fast beginner who should quickly stride to the lead. Expected to go well again. WEBLEC JOEL (2) made light work of a wide draw last time with a strong early sectional and clocking 22.35 in a 7 length win at this track over 400m. Comes through a solid form race last start. Expected to measure up again. CORBAN YAXLEY (4) comes off an average run last start when fifth at Sandown over 515m behind Like A Rock (29.99) in a Mix 3/4. Was in the money the start prior. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Great chance to atone. SECRET JOKER (1) scored by 1.75 lengths last time (25.28) in a Grade 5 over 450m at Shepparton. Already a winner from this draw.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start by 1.75 lengths at Shepparton (25.28) beating Springer's Boy in a Grade 5 on August 3. Makes appeal on the back of that latest win.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when third (29.77) over 515m at Sandown. Tricky draw to overcome but is worth plenty of thought.

Modest effort last time out when fourth over 500m at Bendigo. Predicted to struggle on this occasion.

Impressive performance showing plenty of speed to score by 4.5 lengths in a R/A FIN last start at Ballarat, clocking a hot 24.92 for the 450m trip. Expected to go close again if runs up to latest time.
