News Corp form analyst Brad Waters looks at Wednesday’s meeting at Geelong.

BEST BET

SAMANGU (Race 6 No.7 – $2.10)

Resumed from a long spell with a dominant win at Ballarat. She’s can justify her short price with another win at Geelong.

NEXT BEST

MISS TITELINE (Race 5 No.8 – $7.50)

Miss Titeline has been thereabouts at both runs this time in and is yet to miss a place at Geelong. She’ll have every chance from barrier three.

ERSA (Race 7 No.13 – $6.50)

Unplaced both first-up runs but her recent jumpouts indicate she has returned in career-best shape. Expecting a strong fresh effort.

VALUE BET

DAZZLING SKY (Race 8 No.15 – $41)

Dazzling Sky should have finished a bit closer in a pleasing return at Mornington. The forecast rain could help him pull off an upset.

THE JOCKEY

BLAKE SHINN

Jockey Blake Shinn heads to Geelong for six rides on Wednesday. EGERTON (Race 2 No.9 – $2.60), MAMUNO (Race 4 No.3 – $18), A BOOK OF DAYS (Race 5 No.4 – $3.80), EARTH GOD (Race 6 No.12 – $6.50), WALK OF FAME (Race 7 No.1 – $3.70, LARIO (Race 8 No.13 – $4.20).
