Ladbrokes Geelong Race 2 - Pfd Food Services Mdn Plate
COUNTRY BLUES (2) is a former Sydney two start maiden who resumes after over two years off. First run for this yard and returns a gelding. Has been jumping out well and has ability. Can kick off with a big run. ESQUEL (9) ran well to place on debut then started very short and was safely held so was tipped out again. Trialling well and can go close fresh.

NAITANUI (5) is a well-related galloper having his first start. A number of stakes winners in the family including Group 1 winner Campionessa. Won the latest jump-out and can hit the ground running. DON'T SAY NO MIKKI (3) also won the latest jump-out leading up to debut. Trained here and can run a big race fresh.

Gelding by Mikki Isle on debut. Won a jump-out at Terang on April 24. Makes debut at home and should run well despite an awkward gate.

Resuming after a six months break. Finished off last campaign sixth of 12 at Mt Gambier 3yo+ Mdn-Sw November 15 over 1200m, 6 len behind Emerald Reward carrying 53kg at $1.30. On debut second of 9 at St Arnaud Mdn-Sw October 26 over 1100m, a nose behind The Crusader with 53kg at $3.30. Looks forward enough after a recent trial win. Looks all set for a bright return.

Dual acceptor. Filly by Wootton Bassett facing the starter for the first time. Fitter for a jump-out on April 21 at Cranbourne when finished fourth. Strong chance to break through. Meets a moderate line-up and expected to measure up.
