Geelong Race 1 - Betfocus Maiden Pace
TEERDEE (9) kicked off her career in good style a week ago, coming from a similar draw to this for third at Melton. Open to natural improvement and with even luck she can certainly take this out. SEW HOPEFULL (2) placed fresh three back and hasn't been far away since, clocking in fourth last start at Melton. Should enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position and is race fit now. HOLD ON FOREVER (12) came from this same barrier to place when resuming at Ballarat. Can progress off that. BEAU BECA (5) draws wider but has been solid in fishing top-four in his three Melton outings so far.

Comes here second-up after three weeks. Lacklustre first-up performance when 7th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 35 m by Midnight Moth (1:58.10) in MAIDEN on April 17 at $51. Not keen on her chances in this field.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Liberty Star Dust at Cranbourne over 2080m in a MAIDEN on March 29 at $19. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Our Pinup Girl at Cranbourne over 2080m in a MAIDEN on April 3 at $6.50. May progress further.

Having his second run back from a spell. Solid effort when 3rd (Sr5) over 1710m at Ballarat beaten 7 m by Lower West Side (2:05.80) in 4yo+ MAIDEN on April 30 at $19. Tricky draw but will be fitter so another big run is on the cards.
