Bendigo Race 3 - Apg Yearling Sales Vicbred Super Series (2Yo Colts & Geldings) (2Nd Heat)
CARDIGAN DAN (7) hasn't raced since copping severe interference as favourite in the G1 Protostar in Brisbane in July. Showed good ability in winning his other two starts and was readied with an easy trial win. Draws wide but is good enough to overcome that for a winning return. SOHO PARK AVENUE (5) is flying having completed a winning hat trick by leading from a similar draw to this to land the Shakamaker Classic by 1.7m at Melton last start. Won the only time he raced here and has the fitness edge on the top pick so may not be easy to beat. LOWRIDER (4) made the ideal start to his career when leading from a couple of spots wider to score by more than 6m at Melton. This is stronger but he has upside. EYENEEDTHAT (6) is another up in grade and draws wide but is hard to knock having won both starts this time in.

Last start 2nd (Sr1) over 1740m at Riverina Paceway, beaten 3.5 m by Seaside Sid (2:03.80) in 2yo NR up to 55 on October 24 at $3.70. Two runs back won by 6 m (Fr3) at Shepparton (2:03.70) beating Where It Began in 2yo MAIDEN on September 23 at $8.50 at the bell was 2nd-2.05. Draws well but this looks too tough.

Two back was well beaten into fifth after a quick start, behind Soho Park Avenue at Melton over 1720m in a 2yo No NR on October 18 at $26. Then a handy effort when a close second after being driven well back, behind Soho Playgirl at this track over 1650m in a NR 52 to 58 on October 28 at $1.60. First four help from a good draw.

Comes here in the right form. Ran on from midfield and won by 1.75 m after showing early speed, (Fr6) at Melton (2:02.10) beating Soho Charmer in 2yo No NR on October 18 at $4 at the bell was leading 0. Two runs back won by 12 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr1) at Newcastle (2:24.80) beating Ire Of The Dragon in NR up to 53 on September 26 at $1.04 at the bell was leading 4.35. In a purple patch of form and with race fitness on his side could be hard to beat.
