Melton Race 5 - Art Major Vicbred Super Series (3Yo Colts & Geldings) Final (Group 1)

KINGMAN (9) scored his second win from his last three starts when he took advantage of the ace draw to lead and salute in his semi here last week. Tougher task from the back row but he is talented enough to win from there if the breaks go his way. BEST DEAL (12) is a progressive colt who scored his sixth win from just seven starts when leading throughout in his semi. Cops a tough draw and it is worth noting his lone defeat came when third from a similar barrier to this but he is on the up. STORMRYDER (3) hasn't won a race since last year's 2CG version of this series but he is building in fitness and a low draw can see him produce his best. SOME AMERICAN (4) has been very consistent with a string of placings since kicking of the preparation with back-to-back wins. Reliable colt who can be in the finish again. The form of SIR JIMMY (8) reads well and he draws for a trail so include.

Good run when beaten by 5 m finishing second behind Sir Jimmy at Kilmore over 2180m in a 3yo No NR CG on August 29 at $1.55. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Best Deal at this track over 2240m in a 3yo No NR CG on September 7 at $2.70. Rates highly. Consistent and can be in the finish again.

Last start solid effort when 3rd (Fr3) over 2240m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 12 m by Kingman (2:39.80) in 3yo No NR CG on September 7 at $6.50. Two runs posted a big 5 m win (Sr2) at Kilmore (2:39.20) beating Some American in 3yo No NR CG on August 29 at $6 at the bell was leading 0.82. Another good showing would not surprise.

Group 1 placegetter. Last start good run when 2nd (Fr2) over 2240m at this track beaten 8 m by Kingman (2:39.80) in 3yo No NR CG on September 7 at $2.90. Two runs back won by 1.2 m (Sr4) at Kilmore (2:39.20) beating Stormryder in 3yo No NR CG on August 29 at $10 at the bell was 3rd-4.38. Racing very well. Solid claims.
