Ladbrokes Geelong Race 2 - Music Workshop Mdn Plate
Looks a bit of a match race between MENESS (8) and TRUE REBEL (10) who come through a hot maiden behind Zambale at Bendigo. MENESS was first up as a $5 chance and just missed a nose while TRUE REBEL was on debut and caught the eye with a booming finish. Early betting favours the upside of TRUE REBEL but we'll go the other way with Zahra sticking on MENESS up on speed where he'll get the favours. RISING NINE TOP (9) didn't fire last time but had been solid fresh and has minor claims. KISSATTACK (6) resumes off a trial win and could surprise at odds while TOP RICH (2) is a former NZ galloper making his local debut for the Douglas yard, watch the betting.
