Horse Racing Tips and Best Bets at Geelong 6/1/24

Onto Geelong Racecourse for Saturday, which sets up to be a exhilarating meeting for the town of Corio Bay.

The track should be in prime condition, benefiting from ample natural irrigation with some warm weather days in the lead up.

These conditions and the rail in the true position suggest that the track will race fast, favouring those horses that settle on-speed.

Runners coming from a position worse than midfield will need the race shape set up for them, otherwise it will be tough going.

 

Before steering the punters into my free tip of the weekend, one of the highlights of the day is Race 2, the Geelong Diamond Hcp for 2YO's.

Win here and you’re in to the prestigious Blue Diamond Stakes!

The Gai Waterhouse trained Trunk, which came with a hefty price tag of 1.3m, has shown promising form in Sydney trials.

However the horse that I think is the standout from its trials is the Phillip Stokes trained, Stay Focused. This colt has displayed some serious potential and is certainly one to watch.

 

 

Geelong Tip from Jack Dickens

Race 10 #10 Fire Of Etna $4.60

Fire of Etna was the subject of heavy backing first-up after some impressive trails at Seymour, and duly saluted.

In that outing, she demonstrated her turn of foot by gunning down the leader after settling 9^th in run, being three wide for the trip and winning by 0.5L.

 

In all of her runs to date she’s showed a real will to finish off her races and from barrier five being in her advantage this race, she's set for a comfortable run and could settle further forward than last start.

The Freedman stable's recent performances adds to my confidence, as they boast a win strike rate of 27% from their last 100 runners and 34% from their last 50 runners. The work of A & S Freedman at the moment is nothing short of remarkable.

As we gear up for what promises to be a cracking meeting at Geelong, lets round out the day on a winning note with this mare.
