Geelong Race 2 - Dine For Pink 16Th May Trot
JILLIBY DREAMLOVER (9) is a progressive filly who continued a string of top-two finishes when she used the sprint lane for a 2.8m win at Melton last start. Draws on the back row this time but can continue to work through her grades. RINGER WELLS (4) has been good from second row draws in his last two outings, scoring a second-up win at Bendigo before chasing well for third at Melton last time. Race fit and should get his chance from this barrier. DESERT ASSASSIN (6) is racing well having placed in his last three starts, one of them from this barrier at Melton when beaten 1.5m. Contender. Last-start winner PROMISE DREAM (10) is in the mix again.

Two back was well beaten into fifth after a quick start, behind Blackrange Glory at Hamilton over 2160m in a NR up to 49 on March 26 at $14. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Allwatfunjingles at Ballarat over 2200m in a NR up to 49 on April 17 at $17. Go well.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr2) over 2180m at Stawell, beaten 55 m by Romantic Nina (2:46.50) in NR up to 55 on April 18 at $3. Showed ability the outing before when he won by a nose as favourite (Fr4) at Ballarat (2:48.30) beating Apex in NR up to 45 on April 3 at $1.30 at the bell was 2nd-0.39. Forward showing expected.

Last start solid effort when 3rd (Sr2) over 1720m at Melton beaten 3.5 m by Tracy The Jet (2:06.50) in 0-2 WINS on April 11 at $8. Two runs back won by 2.25 m (Sr4) at Bendigo (2:40.90) beating Romantic Nina in NR up to 49 on March 26 at $4 at the bell was 4th-6.7. Capable of playing a major role.
