Geelong Race 8 - Onthestraight.com.au

BAROOGA JIM (6) goes very well this trip starting 29 times for 11 wins and 10 minors. Scored by 8 lengths last time (28.40) in a Grade 5 over 510m at Sale. Appeals as a leading chance in this. MAXI GRIN (4) has been in super consistent form, finishing in the minors at his last five runs. Last start finished 2nd over 525m at The Meadows beaten half a length (30.40) behind Paw Kattia in a Grade 4/5 on September 9. Leading chance. SPRINGER'S BOY (2) is a handy type who notched his 13th career success when too good (26.11) from Box 5 at this track. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Form should stack up.

Resumes from a three-and-a-half months spell and was in the minors at only other fresh up run, finishing second at big odds over 515m at Sandown. Likely to find this a bit tough.
