Ladbrokes Geelong Race 1 - Ladbrokes Mdn Plate
Not a bad way to kick things off at all, with a handful of decent chances. ZUPPA INGLESE (10) ran very well on debut, finishing less than a length off the winner at Echuca and can go one better here. OUR CHIEF (3) finished well at debut run and is another one possessing upside. Improver worth including. EMPEROR TZU (1) has had two decent showings at Ballarat and fitter is worth another look today. SUNGAZER (4) next in line after being well supported on debut where he finished 2.25 len off in 4th. Looks a place hope. UNDERCUT (5) started at a big price on debut last start over 1106m at Sale and ran accordingly. Can only improve on that run here.

Lining up for just third start. At very big odds at debut, 4th of 10 at Ballarat 2yo Mdn-Sw on May 25 over 1000m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Demarcate carrying 58kg at $51. Last start 4th of 7 at Ballarat Synthetic Mdn-Sw on June 11 over 1100m, 2.5 len behind Chills 'N' Thrills with 57kg at $3.10. Should measure right up again.

Jumped at big odds at debut, second last in a small field at Sandown-Lakeside 2yo F Hcp on July 2 over 1300m, slow going 4.5 len behind Savannah Chill carrying 58kg at $26. Leaning to others in this.

Filly by Maurice facing the starter for the first time. Fitter for a jump-out on June 12 at Ballarat Synthetic when finished fourth. Prefer to let her have this barring unexpected market push.
