Geelong Race 8 - Sportsbet Blackbook (250+ Rank)
INSANE (3) hit the ground running and on speed early but faded out of it to finish fifth (26.04) at this track over 460m. Form from his last run is proving strong. Should be very hard to beat this time. KIANI STAR (4) produced a modest effort most recently when sixth at Ballarat over 390m behind Fortune Hunter (22.67) in a Grade 5 H. Worth following up. BALLAN BRUMBY (7) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at this track behind Anchor Cranker (22.78) in a Grade 5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Form from his last run is proving strong. Expecting another good run. WALK WITH PRIDE (8) will give backers a sight.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage sixth last time out over 525m at The Meadows. Tested under these conditions.

Good performance after tracking the speed to win by 1.75 lengths at Bendigo over 425m (24.18) beating Clause Edward in T3 RSTW on October 28. Happy to risk this time.

Was sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 2 length fifth (26.04) over 460m at this track. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.

Last start finished last in a Grade 5 H on October 29 over 390m at Ballarat behind Fortune Hunter beaten 10 lengths (22.67). Happy to overlook recent performances. Well placed and gets chance to find best.

Didn't finish two back and couldn't make the frame last time when he finished 6th over 460m at this track beaten 5 lengths (26.36) behind Reuben Hill in a Grade 4/5 on October 24. Would be better placed in something easier.
