Geelong Race 5 - Zav Amusements Mdn Pace
SOMEONE SPECIAL (8) is at the track for the first time. By Always B Miki and hails from the powerhouse Emma Stewart stable. Has strong trial form coming into this, winning her latest hitout. Drawn to enjoy an economical run and it is always tough to tip against debutants from this yard. SEW HOPEFULL (7) didn't have a lot of luck from the second line last start after a good third at Kilmore the run prior. Can play a role. SONOFPLATINUM (5) hasn't had a lot go to plan at his last two appearances but was good the only time he raced here three starts back, missing by just a nose. JILLIBY UTAH (4) will be race fit now and may feature off a second two back at Terang.

Three-year-old filly by Always B Miki out of The Good Times on debut. Showed ability when she won at Terang in a trial on October 27 over 2180m. In a top yard and looks to have talent so can kick off with a win.
