Team Grenfell has a strangle hold on this year’s Sportsbet Geelong Cup with four of the eight contenders – headlined by Vincent Bale.

Despite numbers sitting with Team Grenfell, Matt Loch for Michelle Mallia was best on ground in the heats following a victory that saw him a length off the track record.
