Tim O'Connor • July 18th, 2025 5:14 pm
Tim O'Connor has done the form for Friday night's meeting at Geelong.
R1 – 6.02pm – HOYTS FOOD PACE – 1609m
11 – Rockaway Beach
10 – Foresight
9 – Caledonian Ranger
5 – Pappa Leo
Rockaway Beach has a difficult wide back row draw to contend with, but he’s in some good form and can produce a big finale at his best. He rocketed home from a mile back at Kilmore last time to finish second to Foresight, and just at the price I’ll lean his way over the aforementioned rival.
BACK: 11 Rockaway Beach – 0.5 unit (each-way)
R2 – 6.30pm – HARAS DES TROTTEURS TROT – 1609m
1 – Sassy Galleon
9 – Emmwallen
3 – Silent Reverie
7 – Rarity Rock
R3 – 7.04pm – VALE KEVIN SHELLY PACE – 1609m
9 – Speedy Healey
2 – Sir Nippa
8 – Eye See Amour
1 – Star Ruler
Speedy Healey’s last couple of runs have been full of merit, including a win over this race’s favourite Sir Nippa last time at Ballarat where he came from a mile back to score. I think Speedy Healey might get Sir Nippa’s back again here and he can sprint too fast in the home straight.
BACK: 9 Speedy Healey – 1 unit (win)
R4 – 7.39pm – GEELONG BATHROOM RENOVATIONS MAIDEN PACE – 1609m
5 – Luvtobeuptome
3 – Segui Le Stella
8 – Lougle
6 – Denver Colorado
Luvtobeuptome looks close to a moral in a weak maiden pace and I’ll combine him with Soho Darknstormy, who should lead and win race seven.
BACK: R4 #5 and R7 #1 – 3 units (win multi)
R5 – 8.14pm – RSN ROOFING PACE – 1609m
1 – Pickle It
2 – Micton Mouse
8 – Gozo Major
3 – Hair Razor
R6 – 8.49pm – EVOLUTION LODGE MAIDEN TROT – 1609m
4 – Met With A Shrug
1 – Aldebaran Axl
3 – Tipple Time
5 – Kyvalley Joker
Concede Aldebaran Axl looks very hard to hold out from the draw, but Met With A Shrug easily beat him home in a recent clash here at Geelong when she endured clearly a tougher run. Just at the price, I’ll side with the 4 on the each-way.
BACK: 4 Met With A Shrug – 1 unit (win)/2 units (place)
R7 – 9.24pm – APCO WE'VE GOT YOU PACE – 1609m
1 – Soho Darknstormy
4 – Tara Victory
8 – Dance Away
7 – Hittheroadjack
R8 – 9.59pm – YABBY DAM RACING WORLD CLASS TROTTERS TROT – 1609m
5 – Right Of Reply
6 – Steady Dream
8 – Spirited Lass
2 – Scar
R9 – 10.27pm – CORIO PIZZA PACE – 1609m
4 – Ollies Medal
1 – Im The Wild One
8 – Lady In Line
3 – Capitalism
I loved Ollies Medal’s first-up win at Cranbourne when he pulled hard and surged through the inside to score in a fast last half. His last effort was also good when only beaten by Amphijet at Bendigo and this doesn’t appear a strong race.
BACK: 4 Ollies Medal – 2 units (win)
QUADDIE
1, 2, 84, 1, 315, 6, 8, 2
