Geelong Race 3 - Merv Jennings Signs
SUMO SMASH (2) goes very well at the course and distance with two wins and a placing from four starts. Placed last time (22.69) at Warragul in a Grade 6, finishing second and beaten 6 lengths. Looks suited and should go close. KARUNA (6) was a brilliant winner two back scoring by 2.5 lengths but drifted back latest and safely held when 8th and beaten 16 lengths at The Meadows (31.28). Leading chance. ASTON TAMSYN (5) failed to feature last start after losing her position early at this track, but prior to that won by 1.1 lengths at this track (25.94) beating Mikaela's Joy in a Mix 6/7 on December 20. One of the main contenders. BROWSER (1) made it two minor placings on the trot when beaten second (23.03) in a Grade 6 at this track last time out.

Has finished in the placings at last two, the latest when second (23.03) over 400m at this track. Draws the cherry this time. Deserves respect.

Finished in the minors last time in a Grade 6 at Warragul when a 6 length second but did run a slick 22.69 over the 400m trip. Looks the one to beat with a repeat of that effort.

Quickly out of the boxes with a slick early sectional clocking 22.94 with a 1.2 lengths win at Warragul over 400m. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 460m at this track. Prefer in something easier.
