Friday night best bets & punting strategy at Geelong (24/01)

Tim O'Connor has done the form for tonight's meeting at Geelong.

See his best below, courtesy of Harness Racing Victoria.

R1 – 6.33pm – CAMP QUALITY CONVOY GEELONG FEB 23 PACE – 1609m

10 – Olivia Rose
11 – Wichita Kansas
1 – Etiz Amodel
8 – Breathe Easy

Olivia Rose looks hardest to beat here, but I think Etiz Amodel is worth a place bet given the current price and her likely spot leader’s back on a track where the pegs is gold.

BACK: 1 Etiz Amodel – 2 units (place)

R2 – 7.03pm – PETS DOMAIN CORIO PACE – 1609m

1 – Writteninthesky
8 – Heavenly Brigade
2 – Asmileandawinx
9 – City Rockstar

Writteninthesky hasn’t been one I’ve been able to catch in the past, but the horse is gradually working into some nice form and draws for a great trip here. She got home in a quick last half for second last week and can break through tonight.

BACK: 1 Writteninthesky – 2 units (win)

R3 – 7.33pm – EVOLUTION LODGE TROT – 1609m

5 – Hard Rock Angel
6 – Floating Mountain
3 – Allwatfunjingles
1 – Dicko Dixon

Hard Rock Angel won well to break her maiden at Terang and then produced a good finale for fourth last time out behind Tunbridge, recording a strong last half of 57.70. Just leaning her way in a race where there is some speed off the front.

BACK: 5 Hard Rock Angel – 2 units (win)

R4 – 8.03pm – HOYTS FOOD PACE – 1609m

6 – Imagination Oro
8 – She Really Matters
1 – Calypso Mistress
4 – Silver Mystique

R5 – 8.33pm – APCO WE GOT YOU PACE – 1609m

7 – Tiger Band Wagon
1 – Classic Angelina
6 – Captain Pins
2 – Classy Operator

This should be a case of class rising to the fore with Tiger Band Wagon taking on some out of form or inferior rivals. Keen on him despite the bad draw.

BACK: 7 Tiger Band Wagon – 3 units (win)

R6 – 9.03pm – HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIZ 0-2 LTW PACE – 1609m

6 – Major Bert
7 – Scrittore
5 – Really Smartie
4 – Van Shard

Major Bert brings good form to this race. He galloped when challenging last time and ran two good seconds in solid form races before that. Leaning his way over the stablemate Scrittore.

BACK: 6 Major Bert – 1 unit (win)

R7 – 9.33pm – PRO ALARMS NORTH GEELONG MAIDEN PACE – 1609m

1 – Happenstbabeachboy
2 - Janiebquick
5 – Riddlemethis
3 – Itsallgee
