Ladbrokes Geelong Race 7 - Premier Fencing Ballan Cup (Bm78)

KURAKKA (9) will be resuming at a distance which does look suitable given he got all the way beyond a mile and a half. Some of that staying form is much better than any of these. You would only need to see market support to know he's ready. ROMANTIC ENCOUNTER (3) has been honest the whole preparation and is now finding the best sort of journey. He took on the Australian Guineas back in February and was not too far away. TAUNG (4) has built up a nice record so far and does run so well first up. Just whether his best is on the synthetic tracks. MISS CASTELVECCHIO (14) is a winner her only attempt at this track. Gets some gear changes too. DESERT ANTHEM (15) just keeps finding something better on the day.

Second-up. First-up after six months ran last of 9 in a Bm84 at this track on October 21 over 1200m, 6 len behind Immortal Star carrying 55.5kg at $21. Previously second-up ran second last of 17 in a G2 Queen Of The South Stakes at Morphettville on April 25 over 1600m, 6 len behind Cilacap carrying 55kg at $21. Can do much better this time with the run under her belt.

Dual acceptor. Form hard to fault. At the latest run 3rd in a small field in a Bm74 at Cranbourne on October 23 over 1400m, 4 len behind Cashout carrying 60kg at $5. The run before that sat on speed throughout when 2nd of 12 in a Bm70 at Cranbourne on September 25 over 1400m, 0.8 len behind Dirty Look carrying 60kg at $9.50. Best form should see him measure right up.

Comments

Back from a spell. Finished off last preparation second of 14 at Ballarat Bm66 April 3 over 2000m, a nose behind Bold Strike with 59kg at $5.50. First up last campaign third of 9 at Sandown-Lakeside 0 - 66 January 8 over 1600m, 1.1 len behind Waco Kid with 58.5kg at $26. Looks all set for an effective return.
