Geelong Race 3 - Etu Vic (2-5 Wins)

BIG MAKO (7) looks close to win after hitting the frame last run (23.03) at this track in a Grade 5 H. Has first look at box 7 this time. Key chance in this line up. COMEBACK CHARLIE (3) scored a most impressive win two back then drifted back and missed the frame latest finishing a 14 length 6th at this track (23.42). Expected to feature in the finish. BIG WEEKEND (1) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing sixth (26.22) in a T3 RSTW at Ballarat. Form at the trip sound including two wins. Should play a prominent role. ASTON SHEKEL (2) has definite claims at his first try at this circuit.
