A treble at Newcastle last week saw young driver Chris Geary tick over 700 winners in his career.
The travelled 23-year-old drove two winners for the Darren McCall stable with Girl From Oz and then it was his win on Cupcakesnwhipcream that gave Geary his milestone.
He then made it 701 winners when winning with the Dean and Kerry McDowell-trained Ananais.
Geary heads to Menangle today with a drive on the Kerry Towers-trained Will I Am in race five.
Geary, who had success in the mini trotting ranks before his driving career, has worked for some of Australia’s major stables including Cobbitty Equine Farm, Tim Butt Racing as well as a stint in Queensland with Jack Butler.
Meanwhile top junior driver Cameron Hart returns to Menangle today also.
Hart drove in semi-finals of the Breeders Crown at Melton, Victoria, on Saturday night and tasted his first success at that track when winning with the Emma Stewart-trained Petillante.
The iForm team have put together the best bets for today:
Menangle best bet
Race 2: Radar Stride (4)
Can regain some winning form finding this easier than previous assignments.
Menangle next best
Race 3: Dance Secret (7)
Most consistent square gaiter capable of testing his stablemate.
Around the tracks
Leeton best bet
Race 5: Arties Dime (4)
Has the draw to press to the front and will be hard to catch from there.
