Geelong Race 3 - Hoyts Food Winter Series Nmw Trot (2nd Heat)
WITH APLOMB (4) made it three wins from her last five starts when she recorded an impressive victory last start, racing three wide without cover before scoring by more than 6 metres at Maryborough. Returns to the front row and can strike again. JACK SPRAT (8) relished the return to this venue last start, scoring by 4.5 metres for his fourth victory in nine tries here. No harm in drawing here with the sprint lane to rely upon. Could go on with it. SHES SKY HIGH (1) gets the ace draw and produced a good effort last time out when runner-up from a wider barrier at Melton. CARLA PIXIE NZ (3) draws lower than when she scored a last-start win by 3.6 metres at Globe Derby. Races well third-up so is a player again.

Improved last start with a solid effort when 2nd (Fr5) over 1720m after showing early pace at Melton, at the bell was 6th-9.56 beaten 9 m by Johns Boy (2:06.00) on May 30 at $6. The aced draw may see her hard to beat.

Good run when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third behind Jack Sprat at this track over 1609m on May 22 at $6. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing second behind Calabasas at Ballarat over 2200m in a M on May 28 at $4.60. One of the contenders.

Two runs back posted a big 5.5 m win when driven back in the field, (Fr6) held up early, at Cranbourne (2:36.70) beating Paris Kay in on May 17 at $9 at the bell was 4th-8.6.
