‘Cream’ for Cats & Rilynn?

Geelong fans could be like the ‘cat that got the cream’ with tonight’s AFL/Greys offer from TAB.

The betting giant’s $4.00 proposition is Geelong to win, or even lose by seven points or less, against Richmond and Rilynn Bale to ‘explode’ at Geelong.

The ‘claws’ will be out for this Round 8 blockbuster, with the Tigers – who gave the Western Bulldogs a 22pts ‘licking’ last week – sixth on the AFL ladder with four wins, while the Cats – who lost their ‘purr’ by 2 pts to the Sydney Swans – are fifth, also with four wins.

Meanwhile, the Mark Delbridge-trained ‘missile’ Rilynn Bale is TAB’s $1.75 favourite in a Cannonball Sprint heat (400m).

The short-course sensation, who is lickety-split from the traps, has won six of her past eight (75%) – 26 from 51 in all – and boasts a flying 22.41sec PB over this track/distance.

Bounce down for the Richmond v Geelong Cats clash at the MCG starts at 7.50pm, while Rilynn Bale is in Race 5 Box 4 at 8.27pm.
