Ladbrokes Geelong Race 7 - Connect Tel (Bm62)
Jimmysstar's younger brother IN'KANTOSSTAR (5) was a good thing licked on debut, after which he was put away, but returned with a stylish win at Ballarat. He'll have taken benefit from that and while he meets some handy types here, he looks to have scope for improvement. MAGNETIC CHESS (4) made progress last time out, finishing 2.75 lengths from the winner in second over 1300m at Bendigo. Previous start was in town and won his only two earlier runs in the campaign, so there's a lot of merit to the body of work he's put together this prep. KATSUMI OROCHI (1) is equal topweight with a wide gate but is an undeniable talent who has the ability to win this if he gets the breaks in running. YAUSON (6) was tested in some good races after the debut win so deserves respect.

Resuming after a break of nine months. Finished off last campaign second of 12 at Sandown-Lakeside Bm66 December 10 over 1600m, 1.3 len behind Darkbonee carrying 58.5kg at $5. Previous preparation first-up won by 0.8 len Pakenham Mdn-Sw October 17 over 1200m slow track defeating Southern Slammer carrying 57kg at $2. Will be better for the run but has the talent to win with the right run.

Third race start. First start 2nd of 12 in a 3yo Mdn-Sw at Moe on December 14 over 1100m, 0.8 len behind Firerated with 58kg at $13. Returned from break favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 2.75 len at Ballarat Synthetic on August 11 over 1200m defeating Roll On Big Red carrying 59.5kg at $1.24. Jimmysstar's little brother who was luckless on debut before an easy first-up win last time and looks to have upside.

Resumes from a spell. Finished off last campaign eighth of 14 at Ballarat Bm66 April 3 over 2000m, 4 len behind Bold Strike carrying 58kg at $5.50. At his first start won by long-neck Kyneton Mdn-Sw March 13 over 1459m defeating Egyptian Thorn with 59kg at $2.80. Better for the debut prep and has been trialling well.
