Ladbrokes Geelong Race 2 - The Viatek And Fujifilm Cup Mdn Plate
SAINT FOX (9) ran a strong race on debut here over 1200m when boxing on gamely despite being a bit tight for room late, finishing third with improvement to come. The rise in trip should suit this son of Frankel much better and he'll be very hard to beat for strong connections. TALKIN' STERN (5) resumed with a good run at Sale over this trip, pulling up with excuses despite a solid fourth. Fitter and drawn well, he should take holding out. DIESEL DESMOND (1) resumes. Two runs in his maiden campaign were sound, D Lane booked here is a good lead and he should run a forward race. JUST LIKE JAGGER (3) has just found one better in both starts and did go around $1.50 at Mildura, he'll take holding out.

At the latest run 8th of 10 at Sale on July 26 over 1400m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Coronationhercules carrying 57.5kg at $5. The run before that eased back early on 5th of 10 at this track on July 10 over 1243m, on a wet track; 4 len behind Crypt carrying 57.5kg at $19. Likely to find this out of reach.

She is resuming after a eight months break. Finished off last preparation second last of 10 at Werribee F&M Mdn-Sw December 7 over 1600m, soft track; 14 len behind Marine Empress with 56.5kg at $31. On debut seventh of 9 at this track 3yo F Mdn-Sw November 26 over 1414m, 14 len behind Venetian Choice with 57kg at $13. Will take great benefit from this outing.

Was at a huge quote at debut, 6th of 10 at this track on July 31 over 1100m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Flying Fury with 56kg at $51. Better for that experience but happy enough to avoid.
