Geelong Race 8 - Geelong Derby Final
CANYA TALK NOW (2) was a last start winner (25.38) at this track who is building a strong winning record. Is yet to taste defeat at this course and distance. Ran the fastest time on the program in his latest win. The hardest to beat again. MEPUNGA WHISKEY (1) produced a fast 25.85 when placed over 460m at this track last start in a Special conditions H. In form and must include in calculations. TANDANYA (3) finished 5 lengths away in second last start over 460m at this track but in a quick 25.71. Harder here but expected to measure up. ELLIS UNIT ONE (5) is a chance after winning last time.

Looks close to another win after his success on September 17 at Sandown over 515m. Last start was second over 460m in 25.71, behind Canya Talk Now. Fought on last time. Right in the mix again.

Eye-catching performance showing plenty of speed to post a big 4.5 lengths victory in a Special conditions H last start at this track, clocking a dazzling 25.46 over the 460m trip. Should be in this for a long way.
