Ladbrokes Geelong Race 5 - Oasis Turf Mdn Plate
Tricky race. THINK HARD (12) resumes off a solid jump-out win having run quite well behind the smart Thames in a decent maiden at this track and trip before a spell. She can improve this time in and should be hard to hold out. AREZZO (2) is a gelding by Zoustar on debut for the Hayes yard who has been jumping out consistently well. Top jockey booked and he's expected to be running well. PULA (10) is a well-bred filly by Pierro who debuts for the Danny O'Brien yard. She's been jumping out well of late and must be respected with Shinn booked. ROCK THEM JOOLS (5) is a gelding by Fastnet Rock on debut for the Chris Waller yard. Jump outs have just been fair but Damian Lane booked is a good lead. Respect.

Third-up today. First-up ran last of 8 at Moonee Valley 3yo Mdn-Sw on November 29 over 1200m, 11 len behind Clean Reef with 58kg at $11. Second run from a spell sat on the pace when 2nd of 12 at Yarra Valley 3yo Mdn-Sw on December 20 over 1200m, 1.5 len behind Garnacho with 58kg at $12. Racing well. Heading in the right direction and looks hard to beat.

First-starter by Fastnet Rock out of More Jools (NZD $ 325,000 (NZB 2023 Karaka - Book 1) purchase). Not seen on the track yet so hard to assess. Yet to be seen on the trial track but may pay to keep an eye on any market moves.

On debut. Three-year-old gelding by Per Incanto out of Swing A Deel. At the most recent trial finished 11th at Ballarat over 900m. Doubt he will make an impression here so prefer others.
