Geelong Race 9 - Haras Des Trotteurs Trot
GATESYS GEM (6) was one of the leading fillies of last season, winning six of nine starts. Scored at Bendigo when last seen in November to follow her second in the Breeders Crown Final. Has won both fresh attempts will be ready to go off three nice trials. Can make a winning return. JILLIBY BALLERINI (4) hasn't raced since a second in the Breeders Crown 3F Final in November and played second fiddle to star filly Keayang Zahara a few times last season including a second in the Victoria Oaks. Won her lone fresh attempt and has been readied with two trials. WINNIES DREAM (3) extended her winning streak to four when she led for a resuming win at Kilmore. This is stronger but she should strip fitter and draws well again. MCGEE (1) gets the ace draw and could be close to a win following back-to-back placings.

Good performance when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Aardies Peak at Melton over 2240m in a No NR on April 11 at $4.20. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Tictok at Bendigo over 2150m in a NR 57 to 66 on April 23 at $3.90. Go well.

Resuming after five-and-a-half months off the scene. Finished off last campaign when beaten by 2.75 m finishing second behind Violet Stanford at Melton over 2240m in a 3yo G2 No NR F on November 16 at $8.50. Previous preparation first-up ran on from midfield and posted a big 30 m win as favourite when driven back in the field, (Fr6) held up early, at Ballarat (2:08.30) beating Saydie in 3yo MAIDEN on July 25 at $1.60. Strong claims.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr5) over 1720m at Melton was 5th-9.59 at the bell, beaten 13 m by Keayang Lavita (2:05.50) in NR 60 to 69 on April 19 at $19. Two runs back 6th (Sr2) over 2240m at Melton, beaten 35 m by Susan Is Her Name (2:42.40) in NR 60 to 69 on April 12 at $101. Unlikely to threaten.
