Geelong Race 5 - Corio To City Race Ht1
PAW DROGO (1) scored two back in one of the fastest times of the program when on speed but last start drifted back and wound up strongly to finish a 4.5 lengths third at Horsham (23.39). Capable of going well again. AFFILIATED (4) is struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (26.05) at this track over 460m. Overdue and expected to feature again. DOONGALLA AL (8) comes here following a placing in swift time (22.48) over 400m at this track when beaten 1.75 lengths in a Grade 4/5. Has the ability and looks a key chance. SPEEDY EASY (7) shapes well for this after a dominant 27.99 win latest. One of the chances.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 460m. Last start finished 3rd over 410m at Horsham beaten 4.5 lengths (23.39) behind Blessed Rain in a Free For All on December 2. Should be right in the finish.

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (26.05) at this track over 460m. Deserves a win and gets his chance.

Got back last start and could only manage seventh but before that won by 1.3 lengths at Mt Gambier (29.79) beating Sweet Secret in a Grade 5 on December 7. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.
