Geelong - Race 2 - Roderick Insurance Maiden Plate - 2200m

Selections:
7. Cecchetti - $2.00
10. Judge Jenni - $2.50
11. New Romance - $8.00

BEST BET - Cecchetti - $2.00
With a 50% placing record from 6 career outings, Cecchetti is a horse desperate to land that first win and it should top the market in this one. It is a good stayer and should suit the 2200m trip here at Geelong.

THE DANGER - Judge Jenni - $2.50
Another horse ticking along in the right direction of late is Judge Jenni and it will be eager to break its maiden, after coming close plenty of times lately. The step up to this distance is certainly an intriguing one.

VALUE BET - New Romance - $8.00
While the top two in the market should be cut quite far adrift of the rest, there is plenty to get on board with for New Romance. This horse showed up well over a similar trip last time out and won't be far away.

Geelong - Race 5 - Michael Chief Daly Handicap - 1300m

Selections:
2. Sugar Coat - $2.00
8. Snatched - $5.50
3. Prevailed - $6.00

BEST BET - Sugar Coat - $2.00
The return of Sugar Coat after half a year off the track is the headline in this race, with this horse looking to uphold its excellent record. It will need to hit the ground running but is the one to beat on paper.

THE DANGER - Snatched - $5.50
The Hayes yard are big fans of Snatched and it has been managed very efficiently of late in terms of work load. This could be a great chance to land a much-needed win and it should go off at a decent price.

VALUE BET - Prevailed - $6.00
Also trending in the right direction of late is Prevailed, who came agonisingly close to a win at Kyneton last time out. A few in this one look undercooked but Prevailed should be at the peak of its powers.

Geelong - Race 7 - Cottage By The Sea Cup - 1700m

Selections:
3. Half Yours - $2.40
7. Revolver - $5.00
13. Jenni You Think - $12.00

BEST BET - Half Yours - $2.40
Having come close last time out, Half Yours looks set to run well in these conditions at Geelong. Connections will be desperate to see it get over the line and pick up a win and recent performances suggest it should be firmly in the mix.

THE DANGER - Revolver - $5.00
Kiwi flyer Revolver is another seriously capable horse in this race and the extension in trip should be no issue. It feels like this horse is capable of a lot and it shouldn't be too far away.

VALUE BET - Jenni You Think - $12.00
The lightly raced outsider here is Jenni You Think. The stock of this horse is unquestionable and it romped home on debut. Obviously this is a big step up but there is no reason why this horse can't compete here.
