Menangle Race 4

Apg 2Yo Colts And Geldings Prelude

Stake: $10,796

A BUCK TEN (3) finished fourth last start in a Group One over 1730m at Bathurst, beaten 7 metres by Message Bank. Should enjoy a lovely run and looks the one to beat. DYNAMITEDAN (7) is a two-year-old colt from the Emma Stewart yard on debut. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Makes plenty of appeal. BELLAMYS BLAST (2) debuted impressively last start, scoring by 4 metres over 1710m at Goulburn. Has plenty of scope for improvement. BELFAST CITY (9) last appeared when he got home by 3 metres over 1730m at Bathurst ten weeks ago. Should be thereabouts.
