Ladbrokes Geelong Race 2 - Remembering Joan Hepworth Mdn Plate
MISS DECEIVER (13) returns after four months off. Closed the last campaign with a fifth over 1400m at Warrnambool, but it took the VRC Oaks winner to beat her the start prior and there was a lot to like about the way she put her rivals away in her most recent jumpout. CONFLICT (15) also ran well in all runs in the debut prep and has jumped out well. Was also an acceptor in a winnable race at Kyneton on Friday, so if they run here it's a good push for his chances. YULE POINT (9) returned last time with a solid second at Wangaratta over 1170m. He'll have come on from that and with the majority of the field either first-up or on debut, the run under the belt could prove crucial. TWO TO TANGO (14) disappointed when well-supported on debut but had trialled well before that, and has again done so since, so warrants another chance. I'M DA BOSS (1) is on debut, but swept home from last to win his latest jumpout which could be good training for this given the wide draw.

Gelding by Street Boss on debut. Won a Geelong jump-out on February 4. Swept home from last for soft win at latest jumpout, which might have been good practice for this given the draw.

Resumes from a spell after only one run when 4th of 10 at Colac Mdn-Sw on December 20 over 1100m, 0.9 len behind Ray Del Norte with 59.5kg at $31. Not beaten far on debut and will be better, so not dismissing.

Resuming. Not seen since he finished last of 7 at this track Mdn-Sw October 2 over 1147m, soft track; 6 len behind Live with 57kg at $14. On debut ninth of 11 at Bendigo Mdn-Sw September 7 over 1100m, on rain affected going; 10 len behind Poker with 57kg at $8.50. Hasn't shown a lot to date, but blinkers go on which could spark improvement.

Resuming. Finished off last campaign eighth of 10 at this track 3yo Mdn-Sw September 12 over 1125m, soft track; 4 len behind Oliveanotherday carrying 58kg at $10. On debut fourth of 7 at Morphettville 3yo Bm66 August 9 over 1050m, soft track; 5 len behind Captain Happy carrying 56kg at $6.50. Took ground of Morning Ralph late at latest jumpout and draws much better than that rival here.

Second-up. First-up after seven months crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 2nd of 14 at Wangaratta Mdn-Sw on February 28 over 1170m, 1.5 len behind Ole Daze carrying 59kg at $3.40. Previously second-up 7th of 11 at this track Mdn-Sw on August 8 over 1500m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Hot Too Go carrying 57kg at $2.80. Made a nice return, which gives him a fitness edge on a few key rivals here.

Resumes from a spell after only one run when sat on the pace before fading 9th of 13 at Echuca Mdn-Sw on November 4 over 1200m, on a slow track; 2.5 len behind Chateau Vega with 56kg at $3.30. Never a factor on debut but started hard in the market and has trialled well since, so worth another chance.

Resuming. Finished off last campaign third of 9 at Ballarat Mdn-Sw November 20 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Hi Val with 58kg at $3.90. On debut second of 8 at Pakenham Mdn-Sw October 17 over 1000m, soft track; 0.5 len behind Choir Point with 58kg at $14. Looks forward enough after a recent trial win. Did little wrong in first prep and jumpouts suggest he's come on from that.
