Geelong Race 8 - Mme Slat Gates
STAR OF VENUS (4) turned in a plain effort last time when sixth at The Meadows over 525m behind Sir Whip (31.59) in a Grade 5. Comes through a solid form race last start. Has ability and is a key runner. RITZA LEWIS (1) missed the frame last time, finishing 5th (31.99) last time in a Grade 5 at Ballarat. Great record here at the trip having never missed the frame including one win. Shapes as one to consider. GUNAI DAISY (2) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing sixth (26.20) in a Grade 5 at Shepparton. Expected to feature in the finish. RUTH'S COMMANDER (3) is worth including.

Hasn't been that impressive recently but he has solid credentials over this track and distance. Capable of a strong show.

Won two starts back at Warragul over 460m in 26.38. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when sixth over 400m at Warragul at Grade 5 level. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.

Was well supported last time and charged out of the boxes with a slick early sectional but swallowed up late, finishing a 3.5 lengths fourth (31.63) over 545m at Ballarat. Has claims on best form.

Missed the frame latest (25.95) when seventh over 450m at Warrnambool in a Grade 5. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Others appear better placed.

Nearing another win after his success on June 3 at this track over 400m. Last start was second over 400m in 23.39, behind Holtorf Bale. Close to the speed and boxed on well at his latest run. In the mix again.
