Melton Race 3

Apg Vicbred Super Series (2yo Colts & Geldings) (2nd Heat)

Prize Money: $10,000

SOME HIGH (5) has been excellent recently. Finished second at his latest appearance over 2240m at this track, beaten by 3 metres. This is a nice drop in grade so he is sure to prove tough to beat. SOHO BELLAGIO (6) opened his career in the best possible manner last start, scoring by 24 metres over 1609m at Menangle. Finds a suitable assignment and will take plenty of beating once more. KINGS GALLERY (7) is one of the main contenders after winning his past two starts, the latest at Kilmore eight days ago. Difficult to ignore that sort of form. KELROSE CULLEN (4) is stepping out for the first time. By Soho Tribeca and hails from the B L Pell stable. Trial winner who looks above average. Likely to attract plenty of interest from punters.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr6) over 2240m at this track beaten 18 m by Cardigan Sniper (2:41.60) in 2yo on August 15 at $26. Two runs back was well back in the run when 3rd (Fr5) over 1720m at this track beaten 2.25 m by Vivid Dream (2:03.20) on July 31 at $3.50. Might find this a bit tougher.
