Geelong Race 5 - Sportsbet Ht1
PAW FABLE (2) broke from a low draw and filled a minor placing last start, beaten only 2 lengths (30.57) behind Lektra Isa at The Meadows. Yet to miss the placings from three starts out of this box. Makes plenty of appeal. OCEAN GOLD (1) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (23.56) last time in a Mix 6/7 at Horsham. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. KOKERI (4) jumps from box 4 for the first time after scoring at this track (26.13) in a Rank Limit - Grade 7. One of main contenders. NORTON BALE (3) should be thereabouts.

Placed last time (30.57) at The Meadows in a Grade 6, finishing third and beaten 2 lengths. Has a win and two places from three starts from this draw. Looks a leading chance.

Flew the lids with a quick early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (28.34) over 500m at Bendigo. Thereabouts of late and can feature with the right run.
