Ladbrokes Geelong Race 5 - Mcgrath Real Estate Hcp (C1)
Easily race of the day if they all stay in. SHAMANSARA (5) comes back in trip off a brave run at Sandown Hillside, setting up a good pace over 1600m and trying hard in a narrow fourth. Was well backed there off a big maiden win and suspect they'll take a sit here and be strongest late. LYRICS 'N' SONG (3) resumes. Only one run last time in which was solid but she's shown plenty of ability having never missed the placings and has jumped out well. LOFTY THOUGHTS (1) continues to race very well, placing in all three this time in and only going down half a length as favourite at Sale last time out. Rock hard fit and maps well, consider. GODTFRED KIRK (2) is another very consistent sort, had a few chances now but certainly wouldn't shock. TSARINE (6) can do better than an even showing at Sandown Hillside.

Back from a long spell. Finished off last preparation sat on the pace when 3rd of 7 at Cranbourne on February 27 over 1200m, 0.7 len behind Arlington Row with 57kg at $5.50. When resuming last campaign 2nd of 7 at Moonee Valley on October 3 over 1200m, long-neck behind Shocap carrying 57kg at $2.15. Won a Cranbourne jump-out on August 3. Looks forward enough after a recent trial win. Talented mare who can win this fresh.

At the latest run held ground to the line 2nd of 10 at this track on July 31 over 1200m, on a slow track; 0.8 len behind That's All Good with 61.5kg at $9. Before that failed to make an impression; 5th of 13 at Bairnsdale on July 13 over 1200m, slow going 6 len behind Electric Elvis carrying 60kg at $11. Wasn't too far off the mark last time. Rough chance.
