BEST BET

RUAKAKA RAIDER (Race 3 No.4 - $2.60)

Ruakaka Raider chased well from the back when up to 1600m at Pakenham second-up but should find his latest outing at Geelong a bit easier.

NEXT BEST

RUNNING ON TIME (Race 5 No.6 - $4.40)

Running On Time hasn’t been able to win this time in but went close at Yarra Valley on Good Friday. He can break through this time.

EXTREME VIRTUE (Race 8 No.11 - $2.90)

Extreme Virtue led and did a good job at Sandown after a good win at Pakenham. She’s an improver and can bounce back.

VALUE BET

JOLTIN’ JOE (Race 7 No.3 - $15)

Joltin’ Joe did his best work late when not far away at Sandown. Craig Williams sticks and he’s worth thought at odds.

THE JOCKEY

CRAIG WILLIAMS

Jockey Craig Williams has a book of five rides at Geelong. SIOUX SPIRIT (Race 1 No.9 - $1.80), DIVINE BELLE (Race 2 No.6 - $10), AMPHACTOR (Race 5 No.7 - $2.90), JOLTIN’ JOE (Race 7 No.3 - $15), EXTREME VIRTUE (Race 8 No.11 - $2.90).
