Best Bets of the Day
Best Tip: She's A Hustler #13 Geelong R4
She's A Hustler is first-up on Friday. Has a positive first-up record in its career. Last race at Matamata, She's A Hustler was right up there in the finish, just placing second. It showed some speed and battled on fairly well. That should be a good form guide for this race and I think it could easily get the win this time. In this race, I think it's got another suitable draw, which should make it tough to beat. A lot of winning form on dry tracks, the Geelong track should suit it nicely.

Best Roughie: Top Arctic #6 Geelong R9
Lachlan King was on board the last run and won over 1600m at Ballarat. So I think that's a good form guide for Friday's race and should be tough to beat down the straight. Before that, Top Arctic finished first at Sale in a BM64 on July 28, 2024, over 1746m. I think it's a real genuine each-way chance.

Stats and Insights
- The Geelong course proper is known as a track that gives every horse its chance as the circumference is 2043 metres with a straight distance of 400 metres.
- Geelong Race 9 - Top Arctic has a 41% career place rate.
- The first 3-4 races in most meetings are called "Maidens" and these races are usually risky and unpredictable. This is because the runners are usually making their debut or have only had a few starts. So it's advisable to stay from these races unless you have a good bankroll.
