Geelong Race 6 - Lara Quality Meats Mdn Pace
FAMOUS CRIMES (1) was runner-up from a wide barrier when resuming then led from this draw but faded to midfield in a stronger race last time. Better off back in a maiden and should be approaching his peak. Has the speed to take advantage of this draw so give him another chance. SWEETHEART DIOR (2) enjoys a class drop on her last attempt and had recorded back-to-back seconds prior, one of them here. Draws well so has strong claims. TRICODE (5) is heading the right way, making it back-to-back placings last time out when second from this barrier at Cranbourne. Genuine threat. Looks a gap to the others, LIV ON LOVE (4) may be next best.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Treacherous Dan at this track over 1609m on June 5 at $16. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.75 m finishing second behind Bettor Punter at Cranbourne over 2080m on June 28 at $7.50. Can make his presence felt.
