Geelong Race 2 - Hoyts Food 0-1 Ltw Trot
MISS MUSCLE (9) turned in a strong effort last time out when she came from this row to finish runner-up, beaten 1.2 metres at Ballarat. Recent efforts are good enough to win a race of this calibre. SHINELIKETHESUN (10) resumes after showing some decent form last time in. Draws on the back row but has won when fresh before and this looks a suitable assignment. ALECTRONA (3) draws well and is a player having continued her consistent form with a fourth at her most recent appearance at Ballarat. DESERT ROYALE (6) was racing well before a spell of five months. Readied with three solid trials so is capable of a forward showing while fresh.
