Ladbrokes Geelong Race 1 - Ladbrokes Popular Srm Mdn Plate
FENESTELLA (8) looked to have found the perfect race to break her duck first-up and while seemingly disappointing given she went under at $1.55, she was only beaten just over a length and raced like a horse who would appreciate more ground. She gets that here and in a weaker race with blinkers going on, so she's worth sticking with and looks a standout. AND I AM (1) might be next best with three runs under his belt and stepping up in trip. BRUTUS JUNIUS (3) was never a factor first-up, but will be better for that and can give a sight on-speed up in trip. YATCHAW (9) should be at peak fitness after three runs back from a spell.

Most recently 7th of 14 at Swan Hill Mdn-Sw on April 12 over 1600m, 3.5 len behind Romuald carrying 57.5kg at $71. Before that ran last of 9 at this track 3yo Mdn-Sw on March 22 over 1435m, 8 len behind Justique carrying 58kg at $51. Certainly worth another chance.

Third race start. First start raced on the pace before fading 7th of 9 at Ararat Mdn-Sw on November 9 over 1100m, 10 len behind Romantic Miss carrying 59.5kg at $31. Returned from break couldn't go on with it; 6th of 8 at Donald Mdn-Sw on April 14 over 1350m, 6 len behind Boggy Creek Boys carrying 58kg at $41. Rates highly and should improve with that run under the belt.

At the latest run ran last of 12 at Warracknabeal Mdn-Sw on April 4 over 2000m, 37 len behind Think Your Amazing carrying 59.5kg at $41. Before that ran last of 9 at Terang Mdn-Sw on March 17 over 1606m, slow going 20 len behind Butterfly Babe carrying 59.5kg at $7. Had plenty of chances, but long tail here presents hopes of a top-four finish.

Jumped at big odds at debut, 7th of 10 at this track Mdn-Sw on April 22 over 1525m, 7 len behind Soldier Boi with 59kg at $31. Should have come on from the debut run and this trip suits.

Last start ran last of 8 at Donald Mdn-Sw on April 14 over 1350m, 16 len behind Boggy Creek Boys carrying 59.5kg at $41. Before that 8th of 11 at Kilmore Mdn-Sw on March 31 over 1607m, on a slow track; 9 len behind Dealer Sing with 57.5kg at $51. Better suited up in trip but has a lot of ground to make up.

Second-up. First-up after nine months ran on from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Sale Mdn-Sw on April 19 over 1429m, 1.1 len behind Kindamagic with 57kg at $1.55. Previously second-up second last in a small field at Flemington 3yo Bm70 on August 2 over 1410m, 2 len behind Crossbow with 56.5kg at $31. Disappointed as a hot fav last start but blinkers on and better suited here.

Returns from a 32-day let-up. Most recently 4th of 9 at Ararat Mdn-Sw on March 30 over 1606m, 5 len behind Hurco with 57.5kg at $19. The run before that 6th of 9 at Kyneton 4yo+ Mdn-Sw on February 27 over 1479m, slow going 6 len behind Pick Wisely carrying 57.5kg at $21. Should be at peak fitness now.
