Geelong Race 3 - Team Zav Nmw Pace
SCHWARZ (10) took on some strong opposition when midfield in a Vicbred heat last start. Had won five in a row prior and goes well at this distance. This suits so he looks tough to stop with even luck form the back row. FERRIGNO (3) is in good form with placings at his last two starts, most recently beaten narrowly into a second at Echuca. Should enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position so could break through. RANGER RICK NZ (6) is right in contention after finishing in the placings for the second time in a row last start, beaten a head into second at this circuit and distance. TELEMACHUS (8) draws for a trail and must be respected off a string of top-four results, the latest offering a sound third at Terang. The ace draw gives ASMILEANDAWINX (1) every chance to find her best form.

Won three starts back at Maryborough over 1690m M on September 7. Last start 9th (Fr5) over 1720m after showing early pace at Melton, at the bell was leading 0.14 beaten 12 m by Mighty Jolt (2:02.20) on September 26 at $31. Drawn favourably and deserves another chance.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow second behind Wotdidusaaay at Echuca over 1755m last start. Before that was beaten 3 metres third at this track over 2100m same class on September 11. Has a low draw and looks close to a win.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr4) over 2180m at Kilmore, at the bell was 4th-8.51 beaten 12 m by The Last Trip (2:36.30) in 4yo on September 10 at $9. Showed ability the race before when he won by 13 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr1) at Hobart (2:37.90) beating Iron Clad in on August 16 at $1.16. Rates highly. Drops in grade so can return to the winners' list.
