Ladbrokes Geelong Race 3 - Ice Break 30 Years Mdn Plate
PRESTIGE MADDY (9) has gone around big prices in the two runs this time in but was a marked improver last time out when narrowly beaten by a horse who looks capable of racing through the grades. If she's taken any improvement from that she could be the testing material here. POLAR EYES (7) will be better for the debut run, when she raced handy and boxed on OK to be beaten less than 2 lengths. LOVE RUSTLER (5) is a newcomer to Victoria and has jumped out well for Taige Weir, who has made a great start to her training career. PRAGUE PRIDE (8) was unplaced on debut, but wasn't beaten far and was given a quiet time of things in the trial since. Any market warrants respect.

Filly back from a spell of five months. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last preparation fifth of 12 at Ararat 3yo Mdn-Sw November 25 over 1100m, 3 len behind Polished Wood carrying 56kg at $9. Previously first up; third of 7 at Swan Hill 3yo Mdn-Sw October 28 over 1200m, 5.5 len behind Istriano carrying 56kg at $7.50. Finished strongly to win a recent Burrumbeet jumpout, but draw increases the degree of difficulty here.

Second run back. First-up after five months got back early 4th in a small field at Cranbourne 3yo F Mdn-Sw on April 17 over 1000m, on a slow track; 7 len behind Price Tag carrying 57kg at $26. Previously second-up second last of 7 at Moonee Valley 3yo F Mdn-Sw on October 3 over 1200m, 5.5 len behind Shocap with 54kg at $51. Didn't do enough first up to raise hopes.

Filly by Snitzel facing the starter for the first time. Ran 3rd in a trial at Traralgon over 950m on April 9. Blueblood filly who has finished third at past two jumpouts, but either ridden out of well-held, so prefer to see on raceday.

Resuming after a six months break. Not seen since she finished last of 8 at Kembla Grange Super Mdn October 25 over 1400m, 5 len behind Micro Magic carrying 55.5kg at $9. On debut fourth of 9 at Kembla Grange Super Mdn-Sw October 13 over 1300m, 4.5 len behind Aisle Two with 55kg at $6.50. Two jumpouts for new trainer, who has made a blazing start to her career, have been good and draws to play a key role.

At debut, 4th of 8 at Pakenham Mdn-Sw on April 16 over 1100m, on heavy track; 2 len behind Longreach Drover with 56kg at $10. Improver who looks ideally placed here. Expected to go well with that run under her belt.

Resumes from a spell after only one run when 5th of 13 at Kilmore F&M Mdn-Sw on February 13 over 1200m, 2 len behind Flash Alice with 57.5kg at $8. Not beaten far on debut and just coasted to the line in recent jumpout, so keep an eye on the market.

At debut, second last in a small field at Cranbourne 3yo F Mdn-Sw on April 17 over 1000m, on a slow track; 10 len behind Price Tag with 57kg at $8.50. Didn't give a yelp on debut, but was $15 into $8.50 there so has obviously shown something and might be worth another chance.
