Ladbrokes Geelong Race 3 - Gary Coffee Mdn Plate
OVER EXCITED (9) is one of the best-bred horses at the meeting, by Zoustar out of G1 winner I Am Excited, and she's shown enough to suggest she's got talent. Draw looks a little sticky but has Blake Shinn. PAIN AU CHOCOLAT (10) returned last time with a solid second at Seymour over 1100m when she made late ground. Likely improver with strong prospects. ICELADY (4) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of four months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1200m in the G3 David Coles Stakes at Morphettville. Good chance to break through. ARTISON (13) has put together two good runs this time in and that race fitness could prove important, especially from a good draw.
