Geraldine Best Bets and Long Shots


Happy Sunrise

Recommended Posts

Well, the TAB aren't coming to the party with the longshots as the odds are a bit tight.

However, I like Young Stranger as he is in form and getting back to the grass. A bit tight at FF6.20 but his 3rd at Methven awhile back was good. He was skittled at Addington last start but showed he is still firing with a win at the Methven trials last week. The old boy might just run them off their feet and get another win as he loves the course.

I also like Beau Vista if he can get handy from his draw. Back to the grass (9-1-2) will be good and has won on a wet track before too. A bit short at FF5.50 so might be better on the tote.

Zoe's Gift has 2 placings on the grass, one in the wet, she ran on very well late in the piece to Sundon's Flyer and was still enjoying her work after the finishing post so at 7FF she might be worth a bet.

If it rains here could be a few bolters....

Overam at FF11.50 has very good grass track form (4-2-1) with a placing on a wet track. Seems a better horse on the green stuff as he beat Shadow Minister in April at Methven then a second to Prestopans  at the same track recently.

McLovin at 11FF is back to the grass (9-2-2) and in the wet (3-1-2) after a long while so if he leads out and gets handy as he can do then he might be there at the finish.

Will post a few in the morning happy, thought overarm & mclovin good bets also. Expecting heavy rain, geraldine  and mot will be interesting

Geraldine is on the river bed so shouldn't cut up too much but will be dead at best.

Motukarara could be off. Doesn't seem to cope with lots of rain. Not sure how much it got during the week but wouldn't need another batch of persistent rain.

Me tipping out horses is like Brodie advising on animal welfare, but does anybody else like Enchantee in R7? She's beaten most of these recently and was a close 5th in a much stronger field on Show Day.

Sadly, I won't see any of the races live as I'll be doing my best not to get mothered at the SI Beer Festival this afternoon, but I'll watch the replays later with interest.

Yes, always runs well. Going good races in stronger fields.

I thought she was a shoe in another time she raced at Geraldine but disappointed me so a touch wary but will probably include her somehow today.

Like Enchantee as well , always there abouts. But wouldnt back McLovin with counterfeit money sorry. My roughie is A Better Dancer R6, not much in this field.
