Geelong Race 9 - Sportsbet Feed (0-1 Win) (300+Rank)
TWENTY KNOTS (5) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (26.48) at this track behind Mantis Bale in a Bottom Up - Restricted Win. Has the pace to be prominent. One of the contenders. FOOD FIGHT (2) showed good early speed and led throughout to score his maiden two back then finished third last start and beaten 2.5 lengths at this track over 460m (26.62). Returns to the scene of his maiden win. Expected to be in the finish again. BIG WHITE SKIER (7) turned in a moderate run last time when fifth at Horsham over 410m behind Oza Audacity (23.98). Yet to score from this box but has never missed the frame in two starts. Likely to play a prominent role. INDIAN CHIEF (4) was out of the money at this circuit last start but can make amends.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished seventh in a Bottom Up - Maiden on October 6 over 400m at this track behind Run Barra Run, beaten 8 lengths (23.73). Happy to risk in this.

Missed the frame latest (23.98) when fifth over 410m at Horsham in a Maiden. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from two starts. Looks one of the chances.
