Geelong Race 8 - Ber's Butcher Sausage Sprint
RITZA OLD MATE (1) was well supported last time and rocketed out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but had to settle for the minor money, finishing a 3.5 lengths second (25.57) over 450m at Warrnambool. Sure to be about the mark. PAW ELODEE (2) looks close to another win after finishing second last time (23.95) at Bendigo. Has a strong record from box 2, including two wins. Winning chance. PAW OLYMPUS (4) hit the ground running from this same draw last time and led much of the way but nabbed late when a neck second (22.85) in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Harder here but expected to feature again. PRESIDENT ROLEX (7) has not raced here but still warrants respect.

Won two starts back over 450m at Shepparton. Last start he finished 2nd in a Grade 4/5 on July 23 over 450m at Warrnambool behind Mother Georgia beaten 3.5 lengths (25.57). Draw likely to suit. Has won three races from this draw. Expected to feature.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (23.95) at Bendigo over 425m. In form and can return to the winners' list.

Didn't make the placings last time at Sandown (30.00) in a Grade 5, finishing a 8 length fifth. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and four places from 11 starts. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.
