Geelong Race 7 - Zav Amusements 3Yo Maiden Trot
TAURAS (6) hasn't raced since the Nutrien Equine 2CG Final in September but has been readied with two trials including a win at Melton. Likely to have developed with maturity and could make a winning return. MISS HOLLY RED (2) continued her good form when she finished second at her latest appearance at Melton, beaten 3.5 metres. Gets the same draw and should enjoy an economical run so could go one better. WAR DAN PHOENIX (3) came from the back row for third at Melton last start and had this barrier when he placed at Kilmore last month. Go well again. SUMMIT MEETING (1) broke when making her first appearance but has trialled well since. Should enjoy an economical run from the ace draw. Player with manners.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Jilliby Radiance at Maryborough over 1690m in a MAIDEN M on April 20 at $4. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Moonlight Billy at Melton over 2240m in a 3yo MAIDEN on May 1 at $8. Progressing well. Draws well so is expected to play a major role.

Improved last start with a solid effort when 3rd (Sr1) over 2240m at Melton was 4th-18.47 at the bell, beaten 14 m by Moonlight Billy (2:54.60) in 3yo MAIDEN on May 1 at $13. Has a nice draw and can figure prominently again.

First up. At the last run she 8th (Fr1) over 2150m after showing early speed at Bendigo beaten 20 m by Aldebaran Ada (2:44.90) in 2yo MAIDEN on September 24 at $15. Can open the campaign with a forward performance.

Returns after eight months in the paddock. Finished off last preparation when well beaten into twelfth behind Howdy Mate at Melton over 2240m in a 2yo LR No NR CG on September 13 at $101. Trialling well so could make a winning return.

Resuming after a layoff of eight months. Well beaten at the end of her last preparation when twelfth unwanted in the market behind Notanotha Naughty. Has only trialled once and might need this pipe-opener.
