Bendigo (H) Race 8 - Apg Melbourne Sales Graduate Series (2Yo Colts & Geldings) (Heat)
LOUCASSO (7) impressively won his first two starts including a heat of the Bathurst Gold Crown by more than 9m but broke when well fancied in the Group 1 final. Freshened since and will be hard to stop with manners. SOLS ME NAME (3) made an impressive start to his career when he scored by 23 metres as a hot favourite at Cranbourne. Draws closer to the pegs and can go on with it. CHAINSMOKE (1) is another that debuted well last start, scoring by 5m at this circuit. Gets the ace draw and has plenty of scope for improvement. EYENEEDTHAT (5) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish second at Melton.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Ultimate Ego at Mildura over 2190m in a MAIDEN on April 16 at $1.22. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second behind Quatro Moth at Melton over 1720m in a 2yo MAIDEN on April 25 at $5.50. Can play a role in the finish.

Last start was well beaten into ninth behind Message Bank at Bathurst over 1730m in a 2yo G1 No NR CG on March 29 at $2.80. Raced better the start before that where he raced just off the speed and boxed on; won by 9 m as favourite (Sr1) at Bathurst (2:04.10) beating Frizza in 2yo No NR CG on March 21 at $1.25 at the bell was 2nd-4m on the pegs. Strong claims.
