Geelong (H) Race 8

Team Zav Trot

Prize Money: $10,000

SCAR (5) continued his good form when successful last start by a head after racing parked from this barrier at Kilmore. That added to a string of top-four results. Big chance again. TICTOK (1) hinted at a return to form when she came from the back row for third last start at Melton. Should get her chance from the ace draw. QUEEN KIZEN NZ (2) also draws well and didn't do a bad job when fifth from much wider at Kilmore last time out. RARITY ROCK (3) is another that fares better at the draw here and came from the back row for a good win at Cranbourne prior.

Failed to impress last start; was well back in the run when 7th (Fr7) over 2100m at this track was 6th-13.15 at the bell, beaten 19 m by Hallebesofine (2:38.10) on August 14 at $12. Showed ability the outing before when he raced just off the speed and boxed on; posted a big 3.5 m win (Sr1) at Cranbourne (2:33.70) beating Sebastians Waiting in on August 2 at $8 at the bell was 3rd-8.2. Draws well and could be there at the business end.
