Ladbrokes Geelong Race 4 - Mcgrath Estate Agents Mdn Plate
Open race. CIVIC SQUARE (4) resumes having run well enough on debut at Sandown Hillside in a strong maiden behind American Eagle. Since given time, he's trialled well and can be an improver this time around. MR NATURAL (6) was solid on debut at Moe over an unsuitable 1000m having charged home on debut at Ballarat behind the smart Angelic Rise. Up in trip should suit much better now. BUREAU (3) is a Home Affairs gelding for for the Waller yard who debuts. He's jumped out well enough, betting will be key. WRITTEN VELOCITY (8) is a nicely bred Written Tycoon colt for the Waller yard who draws well and has claims; again, market is key.

Three-year-old gelding (Home Affairs - Lady Azamour). Chris Waller has him ready for this with five recent trials prior to his debut today. Ran 3rd in a jump-out at Flemington on September 24. Watch for a positive push but is expected to run a big race.

Second-up. Promising on debut made significant ground from the rear of the field 2nd of 11 in a 2yo Mdn-Sw at Ballarat on May 24 over 1000m, on a slow track; neck behind Angelic Rise carrying 58kg at $11. Went for a break before returning 4th of 9 in a 3yo Mdn-Sw at Moe on September 24 over 1000m, 6 len behind Roseatic carrying 58kg at $1.90. Fitter and rates highly.

Was at a huge quote at debut, 6th of 8 in a Mdn-Sw at this track on September 23 over 1125m, 4.5 len behind Avery Anna carrying 59.5kg at $51. Better for that run but happy enough to avoid.
