Ladbrokes Geelong Race 1 - Ladbrokes Switch Mdn Plate
GAELIC KIWI (3) is still a maiden after 10 runs and despite that was well fancied last time but couldn't quite get over the line, finishing a close second over 2435m at this track. Damian Lane sticks and he's drawn to lob a beautiful spot. DEVOTED TO YOU (7) comes through the same race and turned in an improved effort to finish third. Looks ready for a peak performance. EYE TRACKER (8) wound up strongly at the end of 2100m at Ballarat Synthetic last time out, finishing a neck away in second. Reaching peak fitness so she will prove tough to beat. Stablemate HEMI TWO BARRELL (4) was lining up for just the second time last start when second over 2000m at Warrnambool, beaten 4 lengths. The blinkers go on, which could ensure even more improvement. CLYDEBANK ROBBER (1) has had way too many chances and while there look to be better winning hopes, he often sneaks a spot in the top 4 and is worthy of consideration for exotics.

Third-up today. Resuming ran second last of 12 in a Mdn-Sw at Bairnsdale on August 4 over 1600m, slow going 13 len behind Venus Shock carrying 57.5kg at $101. Last start 5th of 9 in a Mdn-Sw at Moe on August 13 over 2050m, on a wet track; 6 len behind King Tagaloa carrying 57.5kg at $91. Fitter now, but this still looks a tad rich.
