Ladbrokes Geelong Race 1

Ladbrokes Form Genius Mdn Plate

Prize Money: $45,000

SUSSEX DUCHESS (6) resumes. She showed ability last time in, placing in 4/6 runs to date behind some decent types on occasion. She was sent out short in the market a couple of times and can deliver on that promise here in what looks a winnable race. INSPIRING (4) started $2.30 favourite on debut at Mornington. He faded late there after showing early pace to finish fourth but should come on plenty from that and draws to effect here. BOURDETO (8) is a Capitalist filly on debut for the Hayes yard. She's won a jumpout leading in and has to be respected. BURLEIGH (2) has had a few chances and disappointed this time in but the maiden surely isn't too far away. HAVANA MOON (5) has been solid in three runs to date and is in the mix.

At the latest run eased back early on 5th of 8 at Warrnambool 3yo Mdn-Sw on January 11 over 1200m, 1.75 len behind Celestial Splendor carrying 58kg at $4.60. The start before that held ground to the line 2nd of 9 at Horsham 3yo Mdn-Sw on December 21 over 1100m, slow going 2.5 len behind Dynamite Dancer with 58kg at $2.40. Had a few chances but is in the mix again.

Was well-supported at debut, 4th of 8 at Mornington Mdn-Sw on December 17 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Kings Commission with 58kg at $2.30. Improver who looks ideally placed here. Support on debut says he can elevate.

Recent form sound. Last start sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 10 at Yarra Valley Mdn-Sw on December 29 over 1009m, 1.5 len behind Pacific Chill with 57.5kg at $11. The start before that 3rd of 7 at Seymour Mdn-Sw on December 18 over 1000m, 2.5 len behind Smash Blue carrying 57.5kg at $2.25. Solid top-three chance with a repeat of that latest performance.

Third-up today. First-up 4th of 11 at Cranbourne Mdn-Sw on December 12 over 1000m, 2.5 len behind Jewel Bandit with 54.5kg at $21. Second-up tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 10 at Mornington F&M Mdn-Sw on January 1 over 1200m, 2 len behind Sheanadh with 55kg at $41. Fitter again but unlikely to threaten.
