Geelong Race 3 - Sportsbet Ht1 (1-4 Wins)
TASTE (7) was safely held last time out, finishing sixth at Healesville over 350m behind Devington (19.55) in a Grade 5 FIN. Placed at her previous run. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minor placings. Tough to beat if on-song. GAMORA BALE (8) goes very well this trip starting six times for three wins and two minors. Placed last time (25.77) at Warrnambool in a Mix 6/7 FIN, finishing third and beaten 4 lengths. Among the main chances. PAW URLA (4) boasts a consistent overall record including three wins from 10 starts, the latest hitting the minor money when third (25.75) over 450m at Warrnambool. Form at the trip sound including two wins. Looks suited and expected to run well. LITTLE BONT (1) must be included in calculations.

Inside draw could be an advantage. Last start finished fourth on July 24 over 460m at this track behind Holmes, beaten 9 lengths (26.71) in a Mix 6/7. Happy to risk in this.
