Geelong Race 1 - The Beckley Centre Geelong
SWEET AS AVA (1) is a Brendan Pursell-trained newcomer by Fernando Bale out of Sweet As Emm. Drawn favourably and can capitalise. Market moves likely to signal ability but profiles strongly for this. STRAWBERRY HILLS (6) ran an eyecatching debut August 21 at this track over 400m (22.83) after starting from out wide. Will give a great sight again. PAW ZOHAN (2) makes his debut without a trial but profiles well for first outing. Among the leading players. MISS KIT (7) is a newcomer from the Daniel Gibbons kennel. Start all important and will need some luck getting across from the wide draw. Profiles nicely but market best guide to ability.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (23.33) over 400m at this track. Awkward draw to overcome. Looks tested in this line-up.

Debutant by Shima Shine from Happy Ruby. Trained by Daniel Gibbons. Market the only real guide to his chances.

Turned in a sound debut over 400m at this track where he settled on speed and stuck on well to finish second (22.83). Leading chance who should prove hard to beat.
