Herald Sun form analyst Brad Waters runs the rule over eight-race card at Geelong on Wednesday.

BEST BET

TESORINA (Race 1, No. 8 – $3.80)

Tesorina jumped out well before she didn’t have much room at the crucial time when a well-backed favourite at Kilmore. She was narrowly beaten second-up last time in and is capable of bouncing back with a win at Geelong.

NEXT BEST

LADY MOFEED (Race 2, No. 6 – $1.85)

Gave a great sight in front before she was only just run down late at Cranbourne first-up. She strips fitter and the form out of the Cranbourne race has stood up after Aminatus won at The Valley last Friday night.

MISSISSIPPI (Race 3, No. 10 – $6)

Looked all over a stayer when chasing steadily on debut at Cranbourne. Trainer Grahame Begg has stepped the daughter of So You Think straight up in trip for her second outing. She will be harder to beat this time.

STYLISH ENUFF (Race 6, No. 6 – $5.50)

The Aaron Purcell-trained Stylish Enuff led and showed a neat turn of foot when a comfortable debut winner at Warrnambool last time out. He has a tricky gate but also has plenty of talent.

VALUE BET

REFLECTIVE IMAGE (Race 4, No. 13 – $11)

The Shea Eden-trained Reflective Image trialled twice in WA before making her way east to join the Cranbourne stable but the Americain filly made a strong debut when third at Werribee. She’ll be better for that experience and is over the odds.

THE JOCKEY

JAMIE MOTT

Mott rides plenty of winners at Geelong and Wednesday’s meeting presents for opportunities for the underrated jockey to get the job done for punters.

SUPER QUICK LOVE (Race 3 No. 8, ($5.50), BUBLE BOY (Race 4 No. 1, $3.50), TYCOON THUNDER (Race 6 No. 5, $11), ALLANO (Race 7 No. 5 $5.50).
