Geelong Race 8 - Geelong To Sandown Final
HI BIG BEN (7) missed the frame last time at Shepparton but the start prior rocketed around 460m at this track in 25.34. Has the ability and looks hard to top. MAXI GRIN (8) had been racing well prior to his last start sixth at this track following a Free For All win three back with a third placing. Rates a winning chance on best. MEPUNGA SPIRIT (3) was last seen getting around 515m at Sandown in a strong 29.54 for a half a length win. In form and looks a leading player again. REGAL SPENCER (6) boasts a solid strike-rate over this trip.
