Geelong Race 3 - Ray Tucker Memorial Pace
ROMEO (6) hasn't raced since the Breeders Crown 2CG Final five months ago but showed promise prior, going into that series off back-to-back wins. Looks to be right up to the mark following two nice trials and finds the right race for a winning return. DELIGHTFUL CHARM (8) worked and fought well when beaten a head last week, the third time she has finished runner-up in her last four starts at Melton. Will enjoy a pretty soft run from this draw, with the sprint lane in play. Could break through. POSTERIZED (4) was last seen when scoring at Melton five months ago. Races well fresh and was readied with a nice trial. MORRIS BROWN (7) draws wide but is in the mix following a fourth from the back line at his most recent appearance at Melton.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing fourth after a quick start, behind Good Day at Maryborough over 2190m in a NR 50 to 55 on April 10 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Katunga Express at Ballarat over 1710m in a NR 50 to 55 on April 23 at $3.20. Rates highly. Can be thereabouts.
