Don't miss out on the headlines from Horse Racing. Followed categories will be added to My News.
News Corp form analyst Brad Waters looks at Thursday's meeting at Geelong.
BEST BET
PURVEYOR (Race 7 No.2): Purveyor got home hard against the pattern at Cranbourne first-up. He'll be much fitter and should relish the bigger Geelong circuit.
NEXT BEST
DIVINE PROVENANCE (Race 2 No.3): The Lonhro colt has done everything right at the jumpouts leading up to his debut. Expecting him to take that form to the races.
GOVERNOR KING (Race 8 No.2): The Henry Dwyer-trained galloper has improved with every run this time in and won a recent jumpout at Ballarat. He'll go well again over 1700m.
VALUE BET
DIAMOND WAR (Race 9 No.12): Diamond War steps up in class but is racing well without having the best of luck. He's drawn to have the right run and is a great each-way chance.
