Ladbrokes Geelong Race 7 - Rex Gorell (Bm66)
Siding with TARZING (7) who won nicely on debut at Seymour. He proved far too strong late when sitting off a good speed, running good overall time that suggested he'd be winning plenty more races. This is a step up but the early support adds confidence. GODTFRED KIRK (8) resumes with a nice profile having shown plenty of ability last time in against some good 2yos. He should measure right up here, watch the market. ATTAIN (4) was just fair second up but had been good fresh and can improve now, notably with Mark Zahra going on. EL TERCERO (2) struggled up in grade at Cranbourne but had won nicely prior and can improve.
