2025 Geelong Cup Preview: Vincent Bale (2)
VINCENT BALE (2) is airborne at the moment and backed up his Sandown blitz with a powerful 29.87 win here last week. Box 2 suits, and with a clean start, he’ll be hard to run down. MATT LOCH (6) is equally in electric form, having scorched the track in 29.59 and looks the early leader. If he gets the front again, he’ll take catching. PAW VORTEX (4) also impressed with a strong win last start and should be prominent early. MEPUNGA SMOKEY (1) is a strong finisher drawn to advantage and could be a knockout hope if the top picks tangle.
