Ladbrokes Geelong Race 2 - Geelong Irish Society Mdn Plate
SHE'S SPEEDY (11) has found only one better at her only two starts to date, beaten narrowly on both occasions. The experience and fitness improvement from those two efforts combined with a sweet barrier draw, warrant her being considered the horse to beat. TOUGH GUY (3) is from a top stable and been hard in the market at two runs this campaign and might be ready to hit top form. THE DEFENDER (1) has been around the mark all three runs this time in and draws to be a key player again. PEACE BABY (2) is also drawn well and gets his chance to improve. BELLA RUSSIAN (6) needs to lift on runs to date but is another advantaged by the barrier draw.

Recent form sound. Last start 3rd of 9 at Bendigo 4yo+ Mdn-Sw on March 2 over 1000m, 2 len behind Sistine Tunnel with 59.5kg at $13. The start before that made ground from midfield; 4th of 13 at Bendigo Mdn-Sw on February 15 over 1000m, 5.5 len behind Jugiong with 59.5kg at $6. Certainly one to consider.

Most recently ran last of 10 at Pakenham Mdn-Sw on February 20 over 1400m, 8 len behind Nic's Choice with 59kg at $31. The run before that 5th of 14 at Sale Mdn-Sw on February 2 over 1206m, 4 len behind Parliamentary carrying 59kg at $5.50. An inside barrier is a big advantage. Better than that last run suggests.

Was at big odds at debut, ran last of 8 at Colac Mdn-Sw on March 2 over 1008m, 8 len behind Nietzsche carrying 57.5kg at $31. Doubt she will trouble these.

Second run back. First-up after six months raced behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 12 at Kyneton Mdn-Sw on February 27 over 1203m, 5.5 len behind Naina carrying 57kg at $7.50. Previously second-up 10th of 12 at Hamilton Mdn-Sw on August 3 over 1200m, in the wet; 13 len behind Sleep Deprived carrying 53kg at $9. Strips fitter and improvement would not surprise.

Third-up today. First-up faded in the straight 5th of 7 at Benalla 3yo F Mdn-Sw on January 19 over 1106m, 8 len behind Baby Hazel with 57kg at $3.20. Second-up 6th of 13 at Bendigo Mdn-Sw on February 15 over 1000m, 8 len behind Jugiong with 57kg at $31. Has come through some handy races, so might find this slightly more to her liking
