Ladbrokes Geelong Race 2 - Ladbrokes Blackbook Mdn Plate
THUNDERING FALCON (8) on top. He's had three starts to date, working to the line well at Yarra Valley over 1900m last time out to finish fifth, beaten just 1.5 lengths. He's bred to stay all day and looks suited rising in trip with Lane taking the ride from a good gate. HE'S A TIGER (2) ran first up in the same race at Yarra Valley when seventh, picking off a few late from back in the field. Have to imagine he'll be much fitter for that having shown some staying ability in his maiden campaign. Hard to hold out. COOL KING (1) was just fair as favourite last start at Warrnambool but had been coming along well prior this time in and could bounce back. JUST EXPLOSIVE (3) should be suited getting up in trip now and rates an each-way chance.
