Ladbrokes Geelong Race 7 - The Valley Inn (Bm66)
Good race but BELLA VERONA (2) looks the clear one to beat again. She promised plenty in her maiden campaign with an arrogant win on debut then was a moral beaten in town. She resumed with a soft win at Bendigo and looks set to go on with it. LYRICS 'N' SONG (5) didn't handle the very heavy going fresh then bounced back with a good win at Seymour over a handy one. Like her to this trip now, she'll give a sight again. CHARMING DEEL (6) is coming off a good win when last seen here over 1700m and has been given a let-up since. Back in trip the niggle but she can box on late. DIAMOND EYE (7) has won two on the bounce but is another off a let-up. She's progressing nicely and has claims again.

Second run back. First-up after five months ran last of 13 in a Bm66 at Caulfield Heath on September 16 over 1200m, 7 len behind Loud Charlie carrying 60.5kg at $31. Previously second-up made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 7 in a Bm70 at Sale on October 26 over 1200m, on a slow track; 0.8 len behind Mercurial Lady with 59kg at $6.50. Has a solid second up record but looks tested in this line-up.
