Geelong Race 9 - Haras Des Trotteurs Trot
MAJESTIC TOOTH (6) has recorded two wins and three minor placings from the past five starts. Maintained the impressive form last time when 6 metres from the winner in third over 1609m at this track. Good enough to take out a race like this. DESERT ASSASSIN (5) was in the money at Ballarat two runs ago before having his colours lowered at his latest appearance over 1720m at Melton, beaten 45 metres. Forgive that last effort. Good enough to put himself in the winners' stall. EMMWALLEN (4) broke in the run and finished fourth, beaten 14 metres, first-up last time out over 2150m at Bendigo. Live chance in a similar assignment. NO TELLING HEATHER (2) is in the mix if she can recapture the form from two starts back that saw her finish second over 1710m at Ballarat.

Failed to impress last start; 12th (Sr2) over 2200m at Ballarat, well beaten by Charleston Avenue (2:44.50) in NR 50 to 55 on August 21 at $7.50. Showed ability the run before when he won by a nose (Fr4) at Kilmore (2:46.80) beating Keayang Brandy in NR up to 49 on August 14 at $4.80. Best form puts him right in this.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Claudys Hero at Ballarat over 1710m in a NR 50 to 55 on August 7 at $9.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind The Sky Is The Limit at this track over 1609m in a NR 50 to 55 on August 15 at $3.70. Best performances should see her go well again.
