Ladbrokes Geelong Race 2 - Elegance Tiles Mdn Plate
ABAYA (12) made her debut at Sale and caught the eye with a strong finish in a fast-run race, finishing third to Cignetti who was well backed and a luckless second last Saturday. She looks a staying type who could be on an Oaks path so up to 1700m should be perfect. ROCKZINO (8) has finished third in all three runs to date, not beaten all that far here last time over 1547m. Gets every hope up on speed from the inside and will give a huge sight. VESPASIAN (5) has placed in his past couple, a narrow third over this route two back reading well. He can land handy and take some catching. UNOYASELF (4) is knocking on the door as well, albeit in slightly easier maidens and wouldn't shock.
