Ladbrokes Geelong Race 4 - The Man Walk Torquay Mdn Plate
FRENCH GIFT (5) returned last time with a solid second at Pakenham over 1400m after being in contention on the corner. The winner of that race won at Caulfield on Wednesday and he's proven on a Heavy track, so any rain would not hurt. AQUA STORM (2) ran well first up at Swan Hill and is probably better suited up to 1400m here, but that's now three starts for three defeats as a short-priced, so punters might be a bit shy going again. BARKING MAD (3) is a maiden galloper resuming from a spell after finishing seventh over 1850m at Newcastle at the latest appearance on January 24. Fitter for two trials, placing most recently and looks sure to be competitive even if he'll be better over further. ZETHEROS (8) was beaten a long neck into second at Stawell two starts ago then finished 3.5 lengths from the winner in fourth last time at Donald. Not far off a win and rates highly on his best form. ALLUMEUSE (1) jumps to 1400m after a couple of runs at 1100m, so might improve.

Second-up. First-up after five months made ground from midfield; 2nd of 11 at Swan Hill Cg&E Mdn-Sw on June 5 over 1200m, slow going 3 len behind Angling For Info carrying 59.5kg at $2.20.

Most recently ran second last of 10 at this track Mdn-Sw on June 4 over 1212m, in the wet; 10 len behind Bold Secret with 56.5kg at $101. The race before that raced behind the speed prior to fading ran second last of 9 at Bendigo Mdn-Sw on May 13 over 1300m, 12 len behind Harbour Town carrying 59.5kg at $301. Struggling to make a case.

Recent form sound. Last start 4th of 12 at Donald Mdn-Sw on June 9 over 1620m, slow going 3.5 len behind Impending Swan carrying 59.5kg at $2.70. Before that ran on from midfield; 2nd of 12 at Stawell Mdn-Sw on May 18 over 1600m, in the wet; long-neck behind Call Me Rhonda with 59.5kg at $1.60. Well placed. Rock-hard fit so expect a bold run.
