Bendigo Race 4 - Apg Yearling Sales Vicbred Super Series (2Yo Colts & Geldings) (3Rd Heat)
MOONLIGHT MOTH (10) was let down by manners when runner-up as a hot favourite on debut but showed what he is capable of last start, coming from a wide barrier to cruise home by 17m at Melton. Has had a month off and starts from the back row this time but has plenty of upside so can go on with it. SOHO WASHINGTON (1) took advantage of this draw to lead and win at Penrith then backed it up despite a second row draw last time, working but proving too good by 1.8m at Ballarat. Gets every chance from the inside barrier. NOTGUILTY (9) was well fancied when making his debut in a Breeders Challenge heat at Menangle but an early break proved costly. Suspect there is some talent there. SOHO TRUMP (3) hasn't been seen since winning as a hot favourite at Menangle in February. Has trialled and draws well so keep safe.

Two-year-old colt is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at Ballarat and Penrith. Last start won by 1.75 m (Sr2) at Ballarat (2:02.00) beating Montana Pride in NR 49 to 54 on October 16 at $3.50 at the bell was 2nd-2.52. Gets the ace draw and could make it a hat trick wins.

Last start 3rd (Fr5) over 1800m after showing early speed and racing wide at Globe Derby Park was 2nd-3.2 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Hez So Royal (2:12.20) in 2yo LR No NR on October 25 at $23. Two runs back won by 1.75 m after showing early speed, (Fr4) at Globe Derby Park (2:13.70) beating Open The Gates in 2yo No NR on October 18 at $8. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Returned to racing with a was well back in the run when 4th (Fr6) over 2200m at Ballarat was 5th-10.05 at the bell, beaten 5.5 m by Eyeneedthat (2:39.80) in NR 54 to 62 on October 30 at $8. Draws for a trail and is open to improvement.
