Ladbrokes Geelong Race 5 - Heads To Tails Horseware Mdn Plate
COOL SAVANNA (3) finished sixth over 1300m at Bendigo on debut but there doesn't appear to be the same level of depth here and with the benefit of that run under the belt, he looks to have found a winnable race. The low draw is just icing on the cake. HANDSOME MISSILE (5) is yet to break through in five career starts and while never a factor last start, might not have relished the Heavy track there. The start before she was beaten just 3/4 of a length off Chowdown, a repeat of which would be good enough to shake the life out of this. OSAKA CASTLE (6) finds a nice debut option, turned in his best effort yet at the most recent jumpout and gets Mark Zahra. MISS XTRAVAGANZA (8) is a 13-start maiden who finished fourth at her most recent appearance over 1235m at this track after she got a long way back in the run. Suited in this lineup and is among the better hopes. VIEUX RICHE (10) has come on from the debut prep if the latest jumpout is a guide.

Third-up today. Resuming second last of 11 at Werribee Mdn-Sw on February 17 over 1100m, 9 len behind Purple Streak with 58kg at $151. Second-up ran on from midfield; 3rd of 11 at Warrnambool Mdn-Sw on March 9 over 1300m, 0.9 len behind Transporter with 59.5kg at $31. Not far away last time. Reaching his peak now and is among the chances.

Jumped at big odds at debut, 6th of 14 at Bendigo Mdn-Sw on March 27 over 1300m, 2 len behind Power And The Beat carrying 59kg at $26. Doesn't seem as much depth here as the debut and will be better for that.

Rates highly and expected to do much better with that run under her belt.

Resuming after a ten weeks break. Finished off last campaign sixth of 8 at Cranbourne Mdn-Sw January 30 over 1500m, 3 len behind Lisa Lass with 57.5kg at $3.20. On debut third of 10 at Pakenham Mdn-Sw January 16 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind Silver Bullet with 57.5kg at $21. A little disappointing as fav last start but has trialled well since, so improvement wouldn't shock.
