Racenet and Herald Sun form analyst Brad Waters looks at Friday’s Geelong meeting.

BEST BET
WICHITALL (Race 4 No. 7 – $3.80)
Wichitall is racing well and won’t find a better chance to break through at Geelong. He’ll be hard to hold out.

NEXT BEST
GRINZINGER GOLD (Race 3 No. 12 – $4)
Has had plenty of jumpout experience but has shown plenty of promise. Expecting a bold debut outing.

SUNDAY BUZZ (Race 6 No. 5 – $12)
Chased well in an unsuitable race first-up and the sharp step to 2400m should bring improvement on Friday.

VALUE BET
SNOW ON HER (Race 9 No. 13 – $12)
Jumps in class but there was a lot to like about her last-start win at Casterton. She could measure up.

THE JOCKEY
BLAKE SHINN
Top jockey Blake Shinn will travel to Geelong for a book of six rides on Friday. DOM (Race 1 No. 1 – $2.80), TYCOONETTE (Race 2 No. 13 – $1.75), SILVER HAMMER (Race 3 No. 7 – $6), WICHITALL (Race 4 No. 7 – $3.80), WALTER SPUR (Race 5 No. 7 – $3.50), WALK OF FAME (Race 9 No. 5 – $3.70).
