Geelong serves up an eight-race Friday card on a Soft 5 with the rail true and light winds forecast. The opener jumps at 12:45pm AEST, the closer at 5pm AEST. Early at Geelong, rails-in-run can be fine if tempo is controlled, but as the day wears on, expect the best ground to creep a couple of lanes off the fence — so track patterns through the first three race before locking in your bets.

Best Bet at Geelong: Navy Nina

Navy Nina is a progressive mare who brings the right platform into the 0-64. She broke her maiden stylishly at this track last time out on July 25 and looks set to measure up immediately in this. From barrier three, expect Jamie Melham to hold a spot just behind the leaders, conserve, and slide into the moving line from the 600m — textbook Geelong when the track has some give.

Next Best at Geelong: Deep Pleasure

Deep Pleasure looked a coming metro winner last prep and resumes in a very suitable Class 1. She trialled up sweetly, draws barrier seven to land midfield with cover, and strikes a race where the pressure looks genuine from inside and outside speed. That pattern is perfect for a mare who can build from the 600m and lengthen through the line. Damien Lane sticks, the yard is flying, and her late splits from last campaign stack up against better grade than this.

Next Best Again at Geelong: Trapdoor

Debutant Trapdoor appeals at a nice price in the 3YO 1200m maiden that opens proceedings. The Hawkes team rarely brings them to the races undercooked; he’s drawn barrier three to park just off the speed and get the dream stalking run for Blake Shinn. With plenty of unraced rivals and a handful of well-exposed maideners, the profile of a colt with a solid jump-out base and tactical gate speed is exactly what you want.
