Geelong Race 3 - Sportsbet We Let The Dogs Out

TOUCH OF SIN (2) boxed on well to finish third last time, beaten 1.75 lengths (22.11) behind On A Mission at Warrnambool. Good form should continue. TRICKY RIDDLES (7) was fast away from wide out with an impressive early sectional and went on to clock 23.27 in a half a length win at Horsham over 410m. Has hit winning form and can measure up again. ESSENCE (1) had been in great form but was out of the placings last run, finishing seventh (22.28) in a Grade 5 FIN at Ballarat. Generally a good beginner but was buried in the ruck off the inside last time. Can do much better this time. SPRING WATCH (5) is sure to play a big role again after nice run of wins.

Won two starts back over 390m at Ballarat. Last start she finished 7th over 390m at Ballarat beaten 3 lengths (22.28) behind Cosmic Reward in a Grade 5 FIN on April 16. Draw likely to suit. Has run blistering time here with a 22.55 PB at the distance. Hard to beat.

Flew the lids with a quick early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (22.11) over 390m at Warrnambool. Speedy conveyance who looks hard to beat.

Has been racing extremely well, putting three wins back-to-back. Last start won by a nose at Warrnambool (22.16) beating Bring Your Best in a Grade 5 on April 17. In a purple patch of form and likely to run well again.
