Ladbrokes Geelong Race 5 - Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers Mdn Plate
SAXON BEACH (6) resumes. He showed some ability in his first campaign before an end of preparation run at Ballarat Synthetic. He can improve this time in and draws ideally. WIND BLAST (8) is a gelding by Vadamos on debut for the Hayes yard. He's been jumping out well and can figure. MACHA (13) resumes. The run over this trip at Benalla at her second outing was very good and she can be an improver this campaign. CLAVEL (9) is a Zoustar filly on debut for the O'Brien yard who can run well.

Third race start. First start 4th of 10 at Warracknabeal Mdn-Sw on July 13 over 1200m, slow going 4 len behind Olivia's Scandal carrying 59.5kg at $2.60. Went for a spell before returning 4th of 10 at Werribee Mdn-Sw on January 10 over 1014m, on a slow track; 2.25 len behind Chilli Tycoon carrying 59.5kg at $5. Cannot be disregarded on the back of that sort of form.

Four-year-old gelding by Rubick out of Miss Octopussy who has taken a long time to make it to the track. Has had no recent barrier trials. No trial form to work with so the market will provide the best guide.

He is resuming after a six months break. Finished off last preparation sixth of 12 at this track Mdn-Sw August 9 over 1500m, 3.5 len behind Late Arrival with 59.5kg at $21. On debut second last of 13 at Cranbourne Mdn-Sw June 23 over 1200m, soft track; 10 len behind Cilento carrying 59.5kg at $9.50. Plenty of more attractive propositions in this race.

Three-year-old gelding who is first starter by Vadamos out of Penny Whistle. Purchased for NZD $ 50,000 (NZB 2023 Karaka - Book 1). Has not been produced at official trials. No public trials but profiles well and may pay to watch for a betting push.
