Ladbrokes Geelong Race 3 - Pjt Mcmahon's Excavation Mdn Plate
CARRIEDO (12) looks to have found the ideal race for this stage of the campaign. Beaten just under a length first up then went even closer last time out. Should be at peak fitness now, the extra trip is no issue and gets in well after the claim. BOOMEROO (10) resumes after two adequate runs in the debut campaign and draws perfectly for the return, which follows some handy jumpouts. THE DEFENDER (2) is a long-time maiden but has run well in races with more depth than this, so he needs to be in calculations, especially from the plum draw. IRELAND'S TEARS (5) is on debut and has been prepping up nicely for a cagey stable, so the market needs to be monitored closely especially from the good draw. ROMUALD (1) is yet to place in seven starts, but the best run of the career came first up and there could be further improvement to come here.

Racing well recently. Most recently 4th of 14 at Seymour Mdn-Sw on February 20 over 1300m, 1.4 len behind Vim Vitae with 59.5kg at $31. The run before that came from midfield; 2nd of 14 at Wangaratta Mdn-Sw on December 22 over 1400m, slow going 2.75 len behind Lil Orlov with 59.5kg at $11. Had a heap of chances, but also rarely runs poorly, so much come under consideration.

Gelding by Highland Reel facing the starter for the first time. Ran 3rd in a jump-out at Geelong on March 4. Three jumpouts this time in will have him ready to go, but keen to see what he's capable of.

Resuming after a 12 weeks break. Finished off last preparation fourth of 13 at Seymour 3yo F Mdn-Sw December 18 over 1422m, 3 len behind Dihheri carrying 57kg at $18. On debut fourth of 9 at this track 3yo F Mdn-Sw November 26 over 1414m, 6 len behind Venetian Choice with 57kg at $3.80. Will be better for the debut prep and latest jumpout was highly encouraging.

Last start made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 9 at Cranbourne Mdn-Sw on February 27 over 1200m, head behind Juvenal carrying 57kg at $6.50. Rates highly. Gone close at two runs this prep and this shapes as a suitable progression.
