Geelong Race 4 - Zav Amusements Mdn Pace
RIDE HIGH CAPTIN (8) is racing very well with seconds at three of his last four starts, the latest at Ballarat when beaten 2.8 metres. Has won a trial since and should enjoy a pretty soft run from this draw with the sprint lane in play. Big chance to break through. BANIA (2) is a two-year-old gelding by Soho Lanikai on debut for the David Barbetti stable. Looked above average in winning his latest trial and draws well so could score at his first appearance. SONOFPLATINUM (1) is well served by the ace draw and could be ready to show more. KATUNTI (7) last appeared when runner-up at Mt Gambier three-and-a-half months ago. Draws wide but must be respected.

Resuming after a spell of three-and-a-half months. Finished off last preparation when well beaten into second after showing early speed, behind Keayang Supreme at Mt Gambier over 1780m on June 30 at $11. Decent effort last start. Looking for a good return.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind King Baldwin at Cranbourne over 2080m on September 13 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.75 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Ultimate Grange at Ballarat over 1710m on September 23 at $1.60. Has been racing well and may prove tough to beat.
