Geelong Race 6 - Evolution Lodge Trot
FREMARKS PEGGY (5) is back from a break of five months and looks to be right up to the mark following a recent trial win. Well-placed to take this out. LOW LIE THE FIELDS (3) is back from a break of three months and looks to be right up to the mark following a recent trial win. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Likely to run a big race to kick off this campaign. MAJESTIC PARTY BOY (4) is the next elect off a last-start win by 5 metres at Cranbourne over 2080m. FLOATING MOUNTAIN (7) will be rock-hard fit after three runs back from a spell, the latest effort a fourth at Ballarat eight days ago. Each-way.

Didn't do much at the last run, 11th (Fr6) over 1710m after being wide early at Ballarat, beaten 85 m by Faith Full (2:07.80) in NR up to 39 on July 10 at $17. Before that 5th (Fr1) over 2190m at Mt Gambier, beaten 35 m by Apex (2:51.30) in NR up to 50 on June 3 at $51. This looks a far sterner test.

Last start broke in score up and was out of position at the start 5th (Fr2) over 1609m at Cranbourne well beaten by Joe Lou (2:03.40) in MAIDEN on August 24 at $11. At his previous start good run despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr6) over 2080m at Cranbourne, at the bell was 6th-12.2 beaten 13 m by Majestic Party Boy (2:41.20) in MAIDEN on August 17 at $10. One of the better chances.
