Geelong (H) Race 5

Evolution Lodge Trot

Prize Money: $6,000

Manners have let COLTRANE (7) down in his last two starts but he showed what he is capable of when kicking off this campaign with back-to-back wins. Draws wide but if he gets it right he is well up to winning this. STEADY DREAM (2) took advantage of the inside draw when she scored at the latest appearance by 1.3 metres at Melton. Should enjoy a nice run from another favourable starting position so could strike again. BUCKLES FOR BERRY (3) resumes and looks ready to go on the back of three trials. Draws well and her lone win came when fresh at this venue. NIGHT FLIGHT (6) has claims off a win the last time she raced here three back.
