Geelong Race 12 - One More Race To Go (275+ Rank)

TINKER RAYS (8) was safely held in tougher company last start after settling well back at Ballarat, but prior to that won by 0.9 lengths at this track (23.25) beating Zipping Scooby in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 on August 18. Has ability and can bounce back. GRIT (6) scored (23.03) last time out at Warragul in a Rank Limit - Restricted Win and will break from box 6 for the first time. Can make it two on the bounce. SPECIAL PLAYERS (1) started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fourth (20.05) at Healesville over 350m. Bold showing expected. CHORUS LINE (7) is another with top-three prospects.

Was sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 3 length fourth (20.05) over 350m at Healesville. Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Expected to be in the finish.
