Ladbrokes Geelong Race 4 - Crest Dry Cleaners Mdn Plate
BLUE AND GOLD (2) resumes for his second run (and second campaign) having run a great race in Listed company on debut at Caulfield. He's trialled well since and finds a nice race to be notching up his maiden win, especially with a couple of key dangers scratching. TURBO SAINT (10) is a well-related Zousain gelding for the McDonald yard, wary of any market support for strong connections off a jumpout placing. FIRM'N'HIGH (11) took on some good races in her maiden campaign and is better placed here fresh off a jumpout win, consider. FORT SUMTER (12) ran on well without the best of luck on debut at Moe. Better for that and should take some holding out here.

Resumes racing after a long spell. Only one run when 3rd in a small field in the LR Valley Pearl (St Albans Stakes) at Caulfield on March 21 over 1200m, 2.25 len behind Rich On Bubbles carrying 58kg at $14. Looks forward enough after a recent trial win. Well placed in a maiden, go close.

Gelding by Toronado making his first appearance. Fitter for a jump-out on August 31 at Cranbourne when finished seventh. Wary for sharp yard despite moderate trials, respect any support.

Three-year-old gelding making debut by Zousain out of Nataya Rose. Purchased for AUD $ 80,000 (Inglis 2025 Classic Yearling Sale). Ran 3rd in a Cranbourne jump-out on August 31. Watch for a positive push but can make an immediate impact.
