The Henry Dwyer Racing stable has three runners today in IRISH PLAYBOY, BETTER TOMORROW, PAPER DRAGON running at Geelong.
GEELONG – Good (4)
The track has come up a Good 4 and with Geelong receiving little to no rain overnight the track should hold up all day.
Race 5 (3.30pm) Mcgrath Estate Agents BM54 Handicap 1720m
No.1 IRISH PLAYBOY – John Allen (Barrier 5)
IRISH PLAYBOY heads to Geelong today where she will contest an 1720m BM54. He has drawn gate five and John Allen will ride.
IRISH PLAYBOY comes into this run after the last start 12th where he was always out the back in town first-up and was never close. He will be fitter here but may need another run.
He has drawn gate five and the other of the stable’s runners Better Tomorrow should lead but in a field of eight, he won’t be too far off them. He should be better from the last up run,Hopefully he will be moe switched on and will hopefully be finishing off strong and challenging the money
TAB WIN Fixed Odds – $5 (as at 8am)
Race 5 (3.30pm) Mcgrath Estate Agents BM54 Handicap 1720m
No.6 BETTER TOMORROW – Michael Poy (Barrier 1)
BETTER TOMORROW heads to Geelong today where she will contest an 1720m BM54. He has drawn gate one and Michael Poy will ride.
BETTER TOMORROW comes into this run after the last start 10th where he was always out of it at Werribee and was never close. Placed two starts back then was well beaten last start. Drawn ideally and he can bounce back.
He has drawn gate one and should hopefully jump well and muster good early speed allowing him to dictate the tempo. Short-run to the first turn from the 1700m chute at Geelong means he will need to find the front early but with plenty of room in the long straight, he can certainly be finishing strong through the line.
TAB WIN Fixed Odds – $9.50 (as at 8am)
Race 7 (4.30pm) Taxi Network Geelong BM58 Handicap 1118m
No.10 PAPER DRAGON – Maddi Price (Barrier 1)
PAPER DRAGON returns to Geelong today where she will contest an 1118m BM58. She has drawn gate one and Maddi Price will ride.
Paper Dragon comes into this race after finally getting her maiden out of the way here last start. She was dominant over a similar distance at this track last start winning convincingly to hold off some fast finishing runners. With that win under her belt, she may go on with it.
She hopefully will lead and if anything wants to challenge her then Maddi can box seat her. The stable doesn’t see any negatives coming into the run, she ticked all the boxes since that last start so hoping she can run a simple race from start to finish and be figuring in the money.
TAB WIN Fixed Odds – $3.90 (as at 8am)
