AU - Geelong - Race 3

IMPERIAL AWARD (1) ran out a strong winner on debut at Bairnsdale, ridden on speed and coming clear to score by two lengths. Beat a subsequent winner there so the form has worked out well and he looks capable of remaining unbeaten despite a gap between runs. BAJARIA (6) resumes. She was tackling some good races last time in, last seen running a narrow fifth to the talented Clevor Trever at Caulfield. This suits nicely off some good jumpouts. MISTY WHISPER (2) won well fresh at Seymour beating a subsequent winner and should be fitter for that. He'll be hard to hold out again. SHAPENAPIT (5) was solid in a decent Class 1 second up having won narrowly fresh as favourite, she can improve again. MASTER JACK (3) next best.
