Ladbrokes Geelong Race 3 - Ascend Sales Trophies (Bm56)
HEY BELLA (3) was prominent at the turn and finished second last time over 1750m at this track, beaten only a neck. Was a winner the start prior and has the ability to race on speed, so looks a key player again. THE DAILY PLANET (2) has been up a while but was only a length off HEY BELLA two back then bounced out of that to win last time out slightly back in trip. Rises in trip again here but racing too well to discount. SARA'S ROCKET (4) hit the frame when resuming two runs back at Ballarat but couldn't back it up last start at Terang. That might have been one run too many at around 1400m for the daughter of Castelvecchio, though, so the step up to 1715m suits. OCEANS ABOVE (1) hasn't been in 56 grade since his win five runs ago and he'll be fitter for the run back and is twice a winner second-up. HIGH TORQUE (6) has been found wanting out beyond 2000m in his past two, so might appreciate dropping back to this trip.

Second run back. First-up after four months ran last of 9 at Pakenham 0 - 66 on April 2 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Silver Bullet with 57.5kg at $19. Previously second-up came from midfield and won by 1.0 len at Kilmore Bm56 October 31 over 1612m defeating Summer Night with 61.5kg at $6. This a sharp drop in class on first-up run and has twice won second up previously.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 14 at Ballarat Bm56 on February 14 over 1400m, 4 len behind Simply Outrageous with 59.5kg at $26. Last start 7th of 10 at Terang Bm56 on March 17 over 1406m, on a slow track; 5.5 len behind Eleanor Dumont carrying 59.5kg at $12. Fitter now and suited up in trip.

Last start settled back and ran on when 6th of 11 at Ararat Bm56 on March 30 over 2206m, 6 len behind My Uncle Did It with 58.5kg at $21. Before that 4th of 11 at Terang Bm56 on February 20 over 2156m, 5.5 len behind Cousins Day with 68.5kg at $4.40. Might find them a touch sharp back in trip, but racing consistently.
