Racing in Victoria this Thursday heads to Geelong, where a competitive nine-race meeting is set down for decision. A perfect summer’s day is forecast, with the track conditions set to replicate those in the sky. The rail is out 5m, with racing set to get underway at 1:30pm AEDT.
Best Bet at Geelong: Universal Harmony
Somehow, Universal Harmony is still a maiden through nine starts. The four-year-old gelding was denied by the barest of margins at Bairnsdale on November 19 when caught on the line in a driving finish. He gains the services of Blake Shinn, and the pair look likely to land outside lead from barrier nine. From there, Shinn will be able to dictate when to go for home.
Best Bet
Race 3 – #2 Universal Harmony (9)
4yo Gelding | T: Ben, Will & JD Hayes | J: Blake Shinn (59.5kg)
+260 with Neds
Next Best at Geelong: Frawley
Frawley was rolled as favourite when finishing second first-up at Hamilton on November 8. The son of Written Tycoon was fresh off a nine-month spell and was left flat-footed when the leader went for home. From barrier eight, Linda Meech will likely camp in the one-one throughout over 1321m, and when asked to quicken, Frawley should have no issue in disposing of his rivals in the Geelong finale.
Next Best
Race 9 – #5 Frawley (8)
4yo Horse | T: Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr) | J: Linda Meech (59.5kg)

Best Value at Geelong: Cameron Falls
Cameron Falls put in a stinker at Ballarat on November 11, but his previous two runs showed promise. Having just been caught in the shadows of the post at Seymour on October 13, he was then badly held up for a run when beaten by 1.5 lengths at Benalla two weeks later. Billy Egan will likely look to hold a position in the first four on settling, and with a strong finishing burst under the bonnet, Cameron Falls looks a great play at the price on offer with horse racing bookmakers.
Best Value
Race 5 – #1 Cameron Falls (10)
4yo Gelding | T: Lee & Shannon Hope | J: Billy Egan (59.5kg)
