Ladbrokes Geelong Race 2 - Geelong Homes Mdn Plate
UNDER MY THUMB (7) ran a good race on debut here after being well fancied, showing speed and only going under by a length. She'll be better for that experience and should prove harder to catch. TRANSACTIONS (12) is a colt by Capitalist on debut for the Freedman yard. He's looked smart winning a recent trial and with Zahra booked is expected to go very well. ARMAUER (1) is a gelding by Hellbent on debut for the Freedman yard. He's jumped out well and is worth keeping safe if the money comes. GARNACHO (8) is a gelding by Ace High on debut. Blake Shinn booked is a strong lead. DUBLINERS (13) can improve.

Four-year-old gelding (Hellbent - Kontiki Dane) at the races for the first time. Has had no recent barrier trials. Jumped out well for top yard, should run a bold race.

Four-year-old gelding by Eminent out of Classcoroc on debut. Has had no recent barrier trials. Tough test for first outing and tempted to give him this.

Third race start. Promising on debut 4th of 12 at Seymour Mdn-Sw on April 19 over 1200m, 7 len behind Roadcone with 56.5kg at $101. Went for a spell before returning 2nd of 14 at Bendigo 4yo+ Mdn-Sw on August 29 over 1100m, on a slow track; 4 len behind Elena Montero carrying 56.5kg at $61. Good fresh, in the mix.

Three-year-old gelding making debut by Ardrossan out of Katherine Wright. Won a barrier trial at Tauranga over 950m March 28 then followed up with a Was second in a 1000m barrier trial on August 26 at Cranbourne. A bright start to the career looks on the cards.

A & S Freedman trained three-year-old colt lining up for debut and was an AUD $ 275,000 (Inglis 2023 Australian Easter Yearling Sale) purchase. Looked good in a recent trial win. Top jockey booked, should go close.

Jumped at very long odds at debut, second last of 8 at Seymour Mdn-Sw on August 27 over 1000m, slow going 6 len behind Fridge Monster with 57.5kg at $67. Won't find this any easier so she must improve sharply.
