DOUBLE HANDED AT GEELONG TODAY

Double handed at Geelong today with Dreamt Ofbein King and Lady In The Sky racing ahead of a busy Saturday at home tomorrow.

Dreamt Ofbeinking is the first to go in the third race, a Maiden Plate over 1750 metres with Billy Egan aboard and Mike Moroney says is fitter for his first-up run.

“He presents fitter today after a solid first-up effort where he finished a creditable third at Kilmore over 1200 metres, beaten under a length,” Mike said.

“He will be better suited by the course today and he shapes as though the trip will suit also. It is a step up in distance however, we’ve had time since the first-up run to get some solid gallops in and we’ll find out today.

“It’s handy enough opposition but he’s in good order and I’m happy with him so it’s up to him now and with ordinary luck I can see him being competitive.”

Lady In The Sky runs in race five over 2455 metres with Patrick Moloney aboard.

“She’s fit enough now and has run well enough without winning this preparation so far,” Mike said.

“The trip will suit and the soft ground will not be a problem. It’s a strong enough field for this benchmark 64 level but she’ll stay the trip well and she too can be competitive with ordinary luck.”
