Verdict

VELOCITE BELLE (12) was well backed on debut at Geelong to start $2.70, not far away in a small field there and has been given a let up since. Tipping she'll improve quickly off that for the top yard and she should get every chance from the inside gate. CAN'T BE REEL (1) ran a great race on debut at Echuca when showing speed, only run down late to be beaten half a length when in the market. He draws to effect and will take catching. LOTTA CITY (8) resumes having been around the mark last time in, respecting with Mott up. NITRO SONIC (11) is heading the right way off a narrow placing at Echuca and has claims off that.
