Verdict

BALANCE (5) got the job done first up as a short priced favourite at Geelong, sent out the $1.65 elect and just proving a bit too good late. Suspect there's more to offer now and she should get a lovely run just behind the speed again. NEZIHA (9) resumes. She was beaten as favourite in her only run last time in and spelled but had shown good ability in her maiden campaign and warrants plenty of respect. BRASS IN POCKET (14) resumes. She chased home Concord Connie on debut which is strong form and went on with it thereafter. Tough draw but she's got pace and can roll forward, respecting. THE FLYING POPOV (3) worked home well first up at Geelong and should come on from that although the draw doesn't help. TWO TO TANGO (8) has the ability to run well fresh and draws for a nice run.
