2020 Geelong Classic betting preview

The Listed Geelong Classic is one of three black-type races on Geelong Cup Day on Wednesday afternoon. The race is for 3YO gallopers over 2200m, and this year’s running will see a field of 11 compete for the $140,000 prize money. Plenty of these horses hold nominations to the Victoria Derby in a week and a half, while the lone filly in the field holds an Oaks nomination.

We are more than happy to forgive the first two runs this campaign for Godolphin’s promising 3YO colt. First up he just didn’t handle Moonee Valley during the Stutt Stakes, and then he got too far back in the Super Impose Stakes at Flemington. His form during the winter, when he was a head off toppling Cherry Tortoni, looks to be a better guide for this race. From barrier eight, we’re expecting John Allen to position the colt just off midfield and give him the last look at them down the outside.

John and Chris Ledger team up with Damian Lane aboard a 3YO gelding who was a resounding all-the-way winner at Bendigo a fortnight ago. He’ll be the leader of this field and may take them from barrier to box if given a soft run of it up front, with no known pace engaged to go with him. The extra 600m may be a slight query, but he didn’t slow down when going through the line to win by nearly six lengths last start.

Best ValueWisaka (#9) $21 with Sportsbet

Despite still being a maiden, Mike Moroney’s gelding could be fighting out the finish in the Geelong Classic after chasing home a couple of handy types in her last two runs. He maps to get a fairly economical run in transit from barrier four, and if he can bring his last-start form over from Cranbourne, where he was badly held up, then he should be right in this.
