Geelong Race 2 - The Beckley Centre Geelong (275+)
DODGING SHADOWS (2) turned in a better effort at Warragul last start, finishing second behind Grit (23.06) in a Rank Limit - Restricted Win. Has the pace to be prominent. One of the leading chances. SLAY (6) latest effort finished 6th in a T3 Grade 6 on August 22 over 390m at Ballarat behind Chow Mein beaten 4 lengths (22.89). Among the main chances. SNAPPER HEAD (3) turned in a plain run last time when eighth at this track over 400m behind Paw Amarli (23.65) in a Bottom Up - Grade 6. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from five attempts. Key runner who gets his chance to atone. PAW QUADE (1) cannot be ruled out.

Drawn the inside. Most recent effort finished 5th in a Bottom Up - Grade 6 on July 27 over 390m at Warrnambool behind Prince Pedro beaten 5 lengths (22.53). Capable of a good showing.

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a long neck second (23.06) over 400m at Warragul. Fought on last time. Right in the mix again.

Last start finished last on August 18 over 400m at this track behind Paw Amarli beaten 14 lengths (23.65) in a Bottom Up - Grade 6. Has performed below expectations at his last couple but is capable of far better.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a eighth over 300m at Healesville. Prefer to watch at this stage.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 400m at this track. Likely to find this too tough.
