Geelong Race 1 - Betfocus Trot
SHONEE (1) kicked off her campaign with a win at Maryborough then led and stuck on for third last start at Melton. Has the speed to take advantage of the ace draw and is race fit now so could be hard to catch. NIGHT FLIGHT (10) produced a strong effort last start when he led and battled on well for a 1.5m second at Ballarat, his second placing on the trot. May need luck from this draw but he looks close to a win. LEANNE LEEANN (5) had a tough draw in a stronger race last start at Melton so prepared to forgive that. Placed in her previous three outings so she is worth another chance. LADY MANCHE (2) draws well for her first run since scoring a maiden at Maryborough seven months ago. Readied with two trials so keep safe.

Last start game effort when 3rd (Fr1) over 2240m after showing early pace at Melton was leading by 3.97 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Champagne Gemma (2:49.10) in 3yo+ on June 26 at $10. Two runs back tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.1 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr3) at Maryborough (2:48.90) beating Argyle Muse in 3yo+ on June 17 at $2.40 at the bell was 3rd-4.3. Should get her chance from the ace draw.

First up. At the last run she ran on from midfield and posted a big 5.5 m win (Sr2) at Maryborough (2:08.60) beating Calders Revenge in 2-3yo on December 1 at $6.50 at the bell was 6th-17m 2WWC. Draws nicely so could go well while fresh.
