Geelong (H) Race 8

Rsn Roofing Maiden Pace

Prize Money: $6,000

ILLUMINATE ME (2) raced parked in a stronger race last week at Melton so wasn't disgraced in boxing on for a midfield finish. Suited back to maiden grade and had looked close to a win when placed in three of her previous four starts. Should enjoy an economical run from this draw so can break through. ROMAN CHARLIE (6) has been racing well, filling a top-four position at his last four starts including a second most recently at Ballarat where he raced parked from a back row draw. Back on the front row this time so could go one better. OUR PINUP GIRL (1) is stepping out for the first time. By Poster Boy and hails from the Kyle Marshall stable. Trialling well and is likely to get the favours from the inside draw. A Rocknroll Dance gelding HEZ NOTTHE MESSIAH (5) is another on debut and has shown enough at the trials to be competitive.

Four-year-old gelding by A Rocknroll Dance out of Seven Nations having his first start. Finished third at Maryborough in a trial on March 1 over 2190m. Not far away in a recent trial and is worth keeping safe.

Two back was well beaten into second behind Decode at Hamilton over 2160m in a MAIDEN on February 23 at $34. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing second behind Onyx at Ballarat over 2200m in a 4yo+ MAIDEN on March 5 at $2.30. Close to a win.
