Geelong Race 5 - Etu Vic (1-2 Wins) (300+Rank)
POETIC STAR (8) finds it hard to win but looks close to breaking through. Has finished in the placings two on end now, the latest when second (22.59) at this track. Key chance in this line up. PLUTONIC (7) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (23.05) in a Rank Limit - Restricted Win at this track. Has ability and can atone. ZIPPING NEBULA (2) had been in super honest form hitting the frame two times on end before finishing seventh (24.85) at Horsham last time. Has ability and can measure up. PAW NORN (1) missed the placings here last start but is well-placed to make amends.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when third (23.27) over 400m at Warragul. Aided by the inside draw and can measure up.

Could only manage fourth last time but the start prior hit the frame when third (23.10) over 400m at this track. Has to overcome a wide draw but is among the better hopes.

Was among the placegetters latest at this track when a 0.8 lengths second but did clock a fast 22.59 over the 400m trip. Looks the one to beat with a repeat of that effort.
