The Watchdog says 
: RAPAKI ROCKS (1) is a powerful type, and he appears to be improving with each run. From the good draw, he should be able to settle in the top two early and prove too strong late. SLINGSHOT TROJAN (3) has breathtaking pace once balanced and he should find this event a little easier. If he can step cleanly, he should assume control quickly and prove too zippy.

TAB fixed odds: $3.60 Win
Form https://watchdog.grv.org.au/meeting/763380217/race/3
The Watchdog says : NICOLSON BALE (5) comes into this nice and fresh and he showed plenty of promise in his first preparation. With GUNAI GIRL (4) expected to show early pace and move to the rail, he should get a nice cart across early and be able to turn for home in the top two.
$3.50 Win – GUNAI REBEL
Must Watch Race
Grade 4
Geelong Race 7 Box 8 400m 8:52pm
TAB fixed odds: $3.60 Win
The Watchdog says : GUNAI REBEL (8) owns a sizzling 22.46sec PB here and he is three-of-four from this draw. FREYA BALE (7) is expected to ping and run and that should create a nice path across for him in the initial stages and he can then go to work as they navigate the bend. He is quite strong in the run home, so if he can round the bend in the top three, he will prove hard to hold out.
‘Must Watch Race’ Preview :
Strong line-up and GUNAI REBEL (8) looks poised to add another victory to her already impressive CV. She has a great record from this draw, and she is armed with dynamic pace soon after box rise, so with the speedy FREYA BALE (7) expected to carve across and look for the rail, she should get a dream run across and assume control as they head into the bend. FREYA BALE is a near faultless beginner, and she scorched around Shepparton recently in 21.58sec. If she can repeat that performance, she may prove hard to reel in. SURELLA BALE (4) returned to racing with a dazzling 22.64sec win here last Wednesday night and she will be even better for the run, so with a clear run early, she can hit the scoreboard. LEVI BALE (6) rounds out the big guns. He needs a little room in the initial stages, but he is armed with elite mid-race pace and if he gets a look at them around the bend, he can make a big impact.
