Geelong Tips August 8

Viatek Fujifilm Maiden Plate Tips (Race 2)

Geelong Roughie - Race 2 No. 11 Lady’s Job Is Done

The daughter of Toronado recorded a good second at Wodonga in her sole trial prior to making her debut at Albury in January.

Lady's Job Is Done raced from mid-division prior to staying on nicely to claim third, beaten just over a length when contesting a 1000m maiden on that occasion.

The mare raced on a Good 4 surface there and following a Wangaratta trial third, she encountered similar underfoot conditions at Moonee Valley the following month.

Lady's Job Is Done raced in fourth on settling there and while she found the principals too strong, she delivered a solid effort that day.

Sonny Coombes’ mare was beaten just over seven-and-a-half-lengths in that Moonee Valley event and she was spelled following that effort.

This looks an easier contest and the mare should be able to get across to race from mid-division, as was the case on debut.

Geelong Next Best Bet - Race 6 No. 12 Navy Nina

The New Zealand-bred galloper showed plenty of ability when debuting with a second in a 1411m maiden at Seymour at the end of December.

The four-year-old raced on good ground that day and having been spelled subsequently, she has race on wet tracks in both starts this time around.

Both of those efforts have come at this venue, with Navy Nina returning lame when beaten over seven lengths into fourth in a 1212m maiden on her return to action.

She raced on a Soft 6 surface that day, with the fifth and tenth that day both winning in the interim.

Navy Nina went on to breakthrough for her first victory when successful by nearly two lengths over 1550m here last month.

The daughter of Proisir shaped as if there’s plenty more to come when racing on a Soft 5 track that day and she's well placed to go back-to-back.

Rex Gorell Volkswagen Handicap Tips (Race 7)

Geelong Best Bet - Race 7 No. 1 Deep Pleasure

The four-year-old performed well in three starts last season, including when debuting with a runner-up finish over 1200m at Mornington in October.

The mare was beaten just under one-and-a-half-lengths when jumping from a wide barrier on that occasion.

Deep Pleasure was sent off favourite for that Mornington effort and she was again a popular market elect when going one better over 1207m at Kilmore the following month.

The daughter of Deep Field raced on good going on each occasion and she delivered a big effort when upped to Listed company at Caulfield.

Mick Price & Michael Kent’s representative was beaten just under two-and-a-half-lengths, having jumped at $51 for her first start outside of maiden company.

She proved that wet surfaces are no issue when finding only subsequent Group 3 winner She’s Got Pizzazz too strong on that occasion.

Geelong Value Bet - Race 8 No. 11 Mrs Archibald

Jason Warren’s representative showed good form last prep, including when registering back-to-back wins earlier this year.

The first of those wins saw the mare break her maiden over 1000m at Mornington in January, while she duly followed up over the same distance at Moonee Valley next time.

Mrs Archibald contested a Benchmark 64 handicap at Moonee Valley, while she was spelled after being held in metro events there and at Flemington via her next two starts.

While the daughter of Starspangledbanner hasn’t been at her best this prep, she has been beaten less than three-and-a-half-lengths in two starts at Sandown.

The most recent of those saw her beaten into fifth in a seven-runner Benchmark 70 handicap held on a Soft 5 track last month.

She has gone well at this venue in the past and while a wide barrier isn’t ideal, Mrs Archibald looks value to record a win down in grade.
