Geelong Race 1 - Camp Quality Convoy Geelong Feb 23Rd Pace
CIGANO (9) raced just twice last campaign but performed strongly, winning easily when fresh at Melton before a midfield finish in the G1 Protostar in Brisbane. He is two from two when first up and a recent trial win will have him ready to go so can maintain that perfect record. OLIVIA ROSE (6) is in fine form having made it two on the trot when she got the cash by 1.6 metres last time, taking her record at this circuit and distance to four from six. Must rate highly. IDEAL AFFAIR (2) resumes after six months. Still a maiden but was readied with a nice trial and draws well. SCHERGER THAT (7) placed in a Vicbred Super Series heat the last time he was fresh. Has trialled so keep safe.

Resuming after a spell of six months. Finished off last campaign when well beaten into eighth after being driven well back, behind Miss Disturbia at Bendigo over 2150m in a 2yo No NR F on August 28 at $81. Likely to measure up.

Comes here second-up after two weeks. Lacklustre first-up performance when 5th (Sr1) over 1710m at Ballarat, beaten 40 m by Silver Pistol (2:01.00) in 0-1 WIN on February 6 at $23. Unlikely to threaten.

Four-year-old mare is racing in fine form. Won her last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start won by 1.5 m as favourite when driven back in the field, (Fr6) held up early, at this track (1:57.50) beating Lady In Line in NR 45 to 50 on February 7 at $2.60. Hard to knock winning form.

Returns after five-and-a-half months in the paddock. Finished off last preparation when well beaten into twelfth after a quick start, behind Go Miki at Melton over 2240m in a 2yo No NR CG on September 7 at $51. Go well fresh.

Good performance when beaten by 3 m finishing fourth behind Auckland Red at this track over 1609m in a NR 50 to 55 on January 31 at $31. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third behind Major Drama at this track over 1609m in a NR 50 to 55 on February 7 at $8.50. Can continue the good form.

Resumes. Finished off last preparation when beaten by 7 m finishing fifth behind Fate Awaits at Albion Park over 1660m in a 2yo G1 No NR on July 27 at $18. Previous preparation first-up posted a big 12 m win as favourite (Fr3) at Melton (2:03.70) beating Netra in 0-1 WIN on July 12 at $1.12. Smart and looks forward enough following a recent trial win.
