Geelong Horse Betting Preview – Friday, 15th January 2021
An eight race card greets punters on Friday afternoon as Geelong hosts the first of two meetings to be held on Friday. The forecast is for a cloudy day, so some would say it is perfect conditions for racing as long as the rain stays away. With a favourable forecast we should be racing on a Good 4, but with the rail out 8m from the 1700-800m and 11m the remainder it may pay to be up on speed on Friday afternoon. The first at Geelong is set to jump at 1:30pm AEDT.
Best Bet: Race 8 – #1 Arctic Wolf
Coming off a six month spell, the Mike Moroney trained Arctic Wolf looks hard to beat in the final race on the Geelong card on Friday afternoon. He competed in harder races than what he resumes in here during the winter, and if he can carry the 64kgs around the 1347m he looks to have a touch of class on his side for this field. From the wide barrier, Noel Callow will look to go forward on the gelding, and if he can find some cover he possesses a turn of foot that some of these will not be able to keep up with.
Next Best: Race 3 – #1 Brazen Bully
The Anthony Freedman trained Brazen Bully has made an impressive start to his career with two minor place finishes from two career starts, including a runner up performance here at Geelong on December 22. From barrier six, Damien Thornton will look to settle him in a more prominent role than what he has in his career to date, and we think that may be the winning manoeuvre as one of our best bets at Geelong on Friday afternoon.
Best Value: Race 5 – #5 Fi Style
In the opening leg of the Geelong quaddie on Friday we’re on the side of Helen White’s mare Fi Style. She was a dominant last start winner at Horsham where she went around as favourite, saluting after a barnstorming run from the back of the field. Her racing pattern has her settling in the second half of the field, but if she produces a turn of foot like December 20 at Horsham, she will be fighting out the finish here to get the quaddie off to a good start for us.
