Geelong Race 7 - Yabby Dam Farms Pace

SCHERGER THAT (7) kicked off the campaign with three placings before landing a well-deserved win last time at Cranbourne, getting home by 6.7m. Has been freshened since and draws wider but is good enough to overcome that. MAJOR DRAMA (5) eases back in grade on the last attempt and had placed in her previous three outings. Goes well at this distance. Contender. THE VILLAIN (6) ended his last campaign with a win at Kilmore in November, leading from a similar barrier to this to score by 1.2m. Could pick up where he left off. AMERICAN ALLI (2) draws to advantage and has claims after pacing from the back line last time at Maryborough.
