After wild winds forced the abandonment of Wednesday’s Geelong Cup meeting after Race 3, the remainder of the program will now be run as a six-race card on Thursday. The revised schedule retains all key features, headlined by the Group 3 Geelong Cup — a proven Melbourne Cup lead-up that consistently draws quality stayers.

The supporting lineup includes the Listed $200,000 Geelong Classic for the three-year-olds, the $100,000 heat of the Melbourne Cup Carnival Country Final, and the fast-run Dual Choice Plate.
Despite the interruption, Thursday’s rescheduled card still shapes as a strong day of racing with genuine depth and several spring hopefuls stepping out.
Geelong Tips October 23
Roderick Insurance 3YO Geelong Classic Tips (Race 2)
Geelong Value Bet - Race 2 No. 4 Azazel
A handy field assembles for this three-year-old staying feature, and Azazel looks one of the better value runners stepping up in trip. Bred to stay, he showed determination when breaking his maiden before finding the tempo against him last start in a slowly run 1800m, yet still stuck on honestly.
A more genuine tempo and extra distance look the key now. He gives the impression he’s been crying out for further, and this 2200m assignment arrives at the right time in his preparation.
Main threats include Highvol (plain in the Caulfield Guineas but the one to beat off his Stutt Stakes run) and Savisanta (could be anything once the penny drops — maybe that’s a prep away).
Azazel profiles as the value runner capable of improving again as the distances rise.
Ladbrokes Geelong Cup Tips (Race 4)
Geelong Feature Bet - Race 4 No. 7 Gilded Water
In the famous royal silks of King Charles III is Gilded Water, bred by the late Queen Elizabeth II. He’s looked a staying type with above-average ability since arriving in Australia and continues to build an impressive record.
He couldn’t book a Melbourne Cup berth in The Bart Cummings after going too hard up front, yet it was a terrific performance under the circumstances. The stylish win the start prior underlined his progression and confirmed he’s trending the right way this spring.
Kept to his proven pattern, he brings the perfect platform into the Geelong Cup and finds a suitable feature to showcase his staying quality.
If Gilded Water can relax better in the run, he’s clearly the one to beat in the Geelong Cup.
Rex Gorell Volkswagen Dual Choice Plate Tips (Race 5)
Geelong Roughie - Race 5 No. 8 Roadcone
His winning form last campaign came over further, but his fresh record at this trip is excellent — two wins and a second from three attempts. He’s had two jump-outs leading in, the first a solid win and the latest a workmanlike effort.
Early pressure appears mainly from the outside lanes, which could allow him to slot in behind and stalk the tempo. In 12 Australian starts, he’s been under $4 in ten of them and $4.50–$6.50 in the other two, so the current price around $20 looks generous.
He’s a consistent type who rarely runs a poor race when produced fresh, and this looks a set-up that can bring out his best.
With a proven first-up platform and some upside, Roadcone shapes as a legitimate knockout in the penultimate.
The Sporting Globe Last Call BM78 Tips (Race 6)
Geelong Best Bet - Race 6 No. 11 Jenni The Fox
Drawn wide but partnered by Blake Shinn, an aggressive rider who excels at overcoming tricky barriers, Jenni The Fox is hard-fit and finds a winnable race dropping back from stronger company. She’s been contesting a pair of Group 2 events and holding her own against mares of genuine class.
Her fifth last start at Moonee Valley came in a race that’s since proven a deep form reference — Oh Too Good won a Group 3 next start, while Abounding and Flash Back filled the quinella in last Saturday’s Group 2 Tristarc Stakes. That reads exceptionally well back at BM78 level.
She’s racing consistently and is very well placed on Thursday. With fitness on her side and clear evidence she’s coping well with racing, the set-up appeals here.
Back in grade, she’s perfectly placed to convert strong recent efforts into another victory and close out the Geelong Cup Day program on a winning note.
