Geelong Race 11 - Sportsbet Blackbook (300+Rank)

BERN'S BANJO (6) was drawn the middle last start but pinged the lids and recorded an all-the-way win (22.90) at this track in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 over 400m. In form and can go on with it. TRICKY DISCO (7) hit the ground running and set it up early clocking 25.74 with a 3 length win at Ballarat over 450m. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Likely to be in the finish. PAW VANNA (8) drifted back settling but did best work late to finish 5th at this track over 400m (23.24). Should be about the mark. PAW QUANDA (1) can sneak into the finish.

Could only manage fourth last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when third (23.56) over 400m at this track. Has a solid winning strike rate off the inside draw and is in the mix.
