RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Typically difficult low-grade event to start the night here, but I really think QUICK DECISION (9) is poised to run well second start back from a break. She pulled hard first-up at Hamilton on Sunday in a stronger race on paper than this and was in crowded room going to the line while only being beaten 4.3m. She was badly held up and should have won the start before that back at Ararat on October 27. Gets a nice draw to run well. There’s stacks of other winning chances and it will likely come down to luck in running, but ZU HOFFEN (7) showed electric speed to lead last time out at Melton and the fence is always a huge advantage here at Geelong, while KARDESLER (6), FREAK OUT (8) and GOZO MAJOR (12) head the other leading contenders. BACK: QUICK DECISION (9) – 1 unit (each-way)
