Geelong Race 8 - Topcat Video Productions
NARINGAL LAD (4) Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last time at Sandown Park. Displaying good ability since resuming from a spell. In the mix. HOT TUB (5) Chimed in with a win last time at Sale and proven runner at this trip. Won't be far away during the run. In good shape this preparation. Expect to go close. PAW PALMER (6) Was all too good winning last start at Horsham. Should race on the speed. Performing honestly since coming back from a spell. Has to be included. SOCIALISM (7) Left nothing to chance when winning last start at the track and showing improvement in recent outings. Will be positive in the run early. Suitably placed in this race.

Did well when 3rd last start at Warrnambool and ideal trip as proven previously. Will be trying to topple them late. Can't leave out of your calculations.

Handy enough when winning last start at this venue and form has been improving over recent runs. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Rates as one of the key chances.

At $51.00 below par when 7th last time at The Meadows but will try to take advantage of the draw. Has early speed and positions nicely. Hard to see it being good enough.
