Geelong Race 2

Millers Muzzles (0-1 Win)

Prize Money: $1,530

TWENTY KNOTS (7) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (26.32) last time in a Restricted WIN at this track. Has ability and is a key runner. FOOD FIGHT (1) showed good early burn and was there until turning but swamped late to finish 7th at this track in a Rank Limit - Restricted Win. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. CLARETOWN DARCY (8) did a good job to finish third last time out over 450m at Ballarat (26.46) in a Rank Limit - Maiden, the second top-three finish on the trot. Can turn it around this time. MACCHIATO (3) has definite claims at her first try at this circuit.

Comments

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 545m at Ballarat. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Has finished in the money at her last three runs, the latest when third (31.07) at The Meadows. Drawn close to the inside. Deserves respect.

Yet to break through after five starts, the most recent result a seventh (31.04) over 525m at The Meadows. Will need some luck to feature.

Latest effort finished 4th in a Restricted WIN on October 23 over 460m at this track behind Red Hot beaten 7 lengths (26.32). Has been around the mark at her last couple and should make her presence felt.

Hit the frame latest (26.46) when third at Ballarat in a Rank Limit - Maiden. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Looks one of the chances.
