Melton Race 6

Nutrien Equine Classic Race Series 4 (2Yo Colts & Geldings) Final (Listed Classic)

Stake: $220,000

CARDIGAN DAN (9) led as a hot favourite when making his debut in his heat at this circuit and kept going to score by more than 5m. The second row draws poses more of a challenge but he looks to be a talent. KNIGHT FURY DAN (12) will also have to overcome a back row draw but there was plenty to like about the debut win here when he was caught wide early but worked to the front before scoring by 8m. YOU GOTTA BELIEVE (4) draws a little lower than when third in his heat and performed well in the Gold Crown at Bathurst prior. Can play a role. NOCTURNAL (2) had been making a good impression at the trials before kicking off his career with a win at Menangle from a very wide draw. Respect off that.

Two-year-old colt facing the starter for the second time. At debut was well back in the run when 4th (Fr4) over 1720m at this track, beaten 18 m by Cardigan Dan (2:02.70) in 2yo No NR CG on April 4 at $11. Might need easier.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing fifth behind Message Bank at Bathurst over 1730m in a 2yo G1 No NR CG on March 29 at $9. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Cardigan Dan at this track over 1720m in a 2yo No NR CG on April 4 at $4.80. Could threaten.

Two back was well beaten into sixth after being driven well back, behind Message Bank at Bathurst over 1730m in a 2yo G1 No NR CG on March 29 at $126. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Nocturnal at Menangle over 1609m in a 2yo No NR CG on April 5 at $2.70. Consider for exotics.

Comments

Two-year-old gelding who has been thereabouts in recent starts. Last start 4th (Fr10) over 1609m at Menangle, at the bell was 7th-13.53 beaten 5.5 m by Nocturnal (1:54.20) in 2yo No NR CG on April 5 at $8. The poor draw makes this a difficult assignment. Not keen.

Expected Settling Position: Pace
