Geelong Race 8 - Sportsbet More Places
BIT OF POTASH (1) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at this track behind Star Of Venus (26.63) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5. Stalked the pace but found the line strongly. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to his name from five starts. One of the leading chances. DAD'S SURPRISE (8) hit the ground running from the squeeze draw with a strong early split last time, paving the way for a half a length win at Shepparton over 450m in 25.84. Has a very good strike-rate from this draw, with five wins from seven starts. Expecting another bold showing. PAW QUIVER (5) lines up here off a comfortable win at Sandown after jumping from box 8 (34.94). Has a tricky draw to overcome and will need a clean break. Shapes as a top winning chance on latest effort. JUNGLE FIREBALL (2) must be included in calculations.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 450m at Warrnambool. Not keen this time.

Didn't make the placings last time at Shepparton (26.21) in a Grade 5, finishing a 5.5 lengths sixth. Is yet to miss the placings from this box, including three wins. Has ability and should be around the money.
