Geelong Race 5

Etu Vic (1-2 Wins) (300+Rank)

Prize Money: $1,530

POETIC STAR (8) finds it hard to win but looks close to breaking through. Has finished in the placings two on end now, the latest when second (22.59) at this track. Key chance in this line up. PLUTONIC (7) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (23.05) in a Rank Limit - Restricted Win at this track. Has ability and can atone. ZIPPING NEBULA (2) had been in super honest form hitting the frame two times on end before finishing seventh (24.85) at Horsham last time. Has ability and can measure up. PAW NORN (1) missed the placings here last start but is well-placed to make amends.

Produced a good run, hitting the frame last run (23.26) at this track in a T3 RSTW. Has first look at box 4 this time. Looks a place chance at best.

Could only manage fourth last time but the start prior hit the frame when third (23.10) over 400m at this track. Has to overcome a wide draw but is among the better hopes.
