Ladbrokes Geelong Race 7

Ladbrokes Geelong Cup (G3)

Prize Money: $500,000

MURAMASA (3) was scratched from the Caulfield Cup due to a wet track and comes here with a very strong chance. Both runs back from a spell have been excellent and third-up last Spring he thrashed Duke De Sessa, who won said Caulfield Cup on Saturday. The son of Deep Impact should get conditions to suit here and will take beating. UNUSUAL LEGACY (9) comes through the G1 The Metropolitan, sticking on well for a distant third behind a top quinella. On the up and will take beating. BIRDMAN (14) is very intriguing as a lightly raced import. The run two back behind Illinois would go close here. INTERPRETATION (8) was better last time and has claims at each way odds.

Most recently second last of 8 at Caulfield in the G1 Caulfield Stks on October 12 over 2000m, 19 len behind Deny Knowledge carrying 59kg at $21. The race before that 7th of 12 at Caulfield in the G1 Underwood on September 21 over 1800m, 6 len behind Buckaroo carrying 59kg at $26. Rise in trip will suit but hard to see him winning this.

Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.3 len at Caulfield G2 Herbert Power October 12 over 2400m defeating Okita Soushi with 53.5kg at $16. The race before that came from midfield and won by 1.0 len at Mornington LR H White September 29 over 2400m defeating Hit The Road Jack carrying 54kg at $9.50. Going well and has claims.

Useful type. Last start 5th of 15 at Caulfield in the G2 Herbert Power on October 12 over 2400m, 4 len behind Herman Hesse with 54.5kg at $12. The run before that eased back early on 11th of 15 at Caulfield in the G3 Naturalism on September 21 over 2000m, 4.5 len behind Positivity with 54.5kg at $26. Definite winning chance. Was okay last time but not sure she's up to these.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 3rd of 17 at Randwick in the G1 The Metrop on October 5 over 2400m, 3.5 len behind Land Legend carrying 50.5kg at $4.50. The run before that 2nd of 13 at Rosehill Bm88 on September 28 over 1900m, on a slow track; head behind Firestorm carrying 58kg at $3. Well placed. Brings the class form into this, go close.

At the latest run 6th of 15 at Caulfield in the G2 Herbert Power on October 12 over 2400m, 4.5 len behind Herman Hesse carrying 53kg at $12. The race before that won by 0.5 len at Matamata Hcp October 2 over 2000m defeating Rolls with 55.5kg at $4.40. Happy to risk.
