Ladbrokes Geelong Race 2 - Mcgrath Estate Agents Ballan - Emerging Stars Series Mdn Plate
SCOOT (12) battled away nicely at her first go around Mornington. This will likely be a tiny bit tougher but was in the market there. Probably tries to go forward and take up a position over the slightly longer distance for this. LEI (9) was supported a couple of times in her most recent preparation. She may have gotten back too far and that may occur again. At least she has had three trials to be ready. MAGNA SENTENTIA (5) has not been far away twice now and from there gets the blinkers for this. That may allow her to race much closer. Could easily make a big difference. VELOCITE BELLE (14) is one who loves to plant herself on the speed. She has the right jockey to do that too. ROCK ABOUT (2) keeps running honest races. May need more ground.

Gelding by Your Song on debut. Fitter for a jump-out on October 12 at Cranbourne when finished seventh. Aided by a nice alley but others profile better.

Three-year-old gelding by leading sire I Am Invincible out of Eleonora. Ben, Will & Jd Hayes has him primed for this with six recent trials leading in today's debut. Runner-up in a Flemington jump-out on October 23. Pay to keep an eye of the betting despite a tricky draw.

Third race start today. At debut, 2nd of 11 in a 3yo Mdn-Sw at Hamilton on October 10 over 1200m, slow going 0.8 len behind Hank Honk carrying 58kg at $14. Last start ran on strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 8 in a 3yo Mdn-Sw at Swan Hill on October 27 over 1200m, slow going 0.8 len behind Celtic Spy with 58kg at $2.70.

Having third race start. When well in the market at debut, 5th of 11 in a Mdn-Sw at Sale on September 13 over 1206m, long-neck behind Getsmybloodrussian with 57kg at $4.80. Second-up ran last of 9 in a 3yo Mdn-Sw at Cranbourne on October 9 over 1200m, 6 len behind Youmzaa carrying 58kg at $41. Looks tested on what we have seen so far.

Is first-up after a break of five-and-a-half months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last preparation seventh of 10 at Bendigo 3yo Mdn-Sw May 29 over 1400m, 6 len behind Varadero carrying 56kg at $3.20. When resuming last campaign second of 10 at Echuca Mdn-Sw April 16 over 1300m, a long neck behind Chloe First with 57kg at $11. Looks all set for an effective return.
