Ladbrokes Geelong Race 2

Tract 2yo Mdn Plate

Prize Money: $32,000

Tricky with so many on debut. AUTUMN LOVER (8) showed ability in three runs last time in, fifth on debut in the Talindert behind Hard Kick and slowly improving up in trip before a break. She'll roll forward off the back of two trials and can prove too slick. GANGLAND (2) is a gelding by Street Boss on debut for the McEvoy yard. He won a recent trial nicely and looks ready to run a big race. NOVAMIRA (12) is a well-bred filly by Lucky Vega out of G1 winner Unforgotten who debuts for the Waller yard. She's jumped out nicely and should take beating. SHAH JAHAN (4) was fair fresh at Bendigo on very heavy going. He can improve quickly. VELLA LONGA (7) ran a nice race on debut at Sale and is in the mix with natural improvement.

First starter by Anders out of Fairly Feline. Has a total of two trials prior to his debut today. Did not show a great deal at the trials and prefer to see in a race before backing.
