Ladbrokes Geelong Race 2 - Loaram Constructions Mdn Plate
NO NO NO NO NO (4) was heavily-supported when a $1.50 fav last start at Werribee and while seemingly having his chance, he wasn't beaten far. That was an improved effort on the debut and with that further experience, he gets the chance to go one better here, especially with the blinkers going on. Another wearing blinkers for the first time is FALSTAFFIAN (2), who didn't do a great deal to inspire confidence in three runs in the debut prep but has put together two impressive jumpouts of late. He's gone forward in each, so he might give a sight on-speed. HYDROTHERMAL (8) started fav on debut and while beaten 3.3 lengths, it was by a horse who ran 4th in a G1 in Adelaide last Saturday, so it might be a handy maiden. Fitter now, extra trip suits and gets Linda Meech. Bit of a gap to the rest, the best of whom might be THE MAILER (5), who should be ready to fire after three runs back and REEL RAIDER (6) who can improve out in trip.

Most recently sat on the speed throughout before fading 7th of 11 at Stawell Mdn-Sw on April 17 over 1307m, 4.5 len behind Krasnoludek carrying 59kg at $17. Before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 8 at Kyneton 3yo Mdn-Sw on March 28 over 1208m, slow going 4.5 len behind Bluey Merchant carrying 58kg at $15. Had a few chances and might need it a fraction easier than this.

Resuming after a five-and-a-half months break. Not seen since he finished last in a small field at Caulfield Heath Mdn-Sw November 12 over 1600m, soft track; 5.5 len behind Sketch with 58kg at $5. On debut fifth of 12 at Sandown-Hillside 3yo Mdn-Sw September 24 over 1300m, 2.5 len behind Obucci carrying 58kg at $21. Didn't do a lot in the debut prep, but last two jumpouts have been good enough for a race like this.

Had two starts to date. At debut, 4th of 8 at Ararat 3yo Mdn-Sw on March 30 over 1206m, 2.25 len behind Miss Ellaneous with 58kg at $11. Last start sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 9 at Werribee Mdn-Sw on April 11 over 1400m, 0.5 len behind Galant Knight carrying 59kg at $1.50. Capable of a better showing. Blinkers on and great chance to atone for last start.

Racing well recently. Most recently 4th of 8 at Echuca 3yo Mdn-Sw on April 16 over 1400m, 3 len behind Muthabara carrying 58kg at $3.90. The start before that came from midfield; 3rd of 12 at Echuca Mdn-Sw on March 21 over 1412m, 0.8 len behind Winter Nights carrying 59kg at $4. Top-three hope if he can repeat the placing two back.

Was at long odds at debut, eased back early on 8th of 13 at Seymour Mdn-Sw on April 13 over 1300m, on a slow track; 10 len behind Amedei carrying 57kg at $31. Well held on debut, but fitter and better suited up to this trip.
