Melton Race 2 - Nutrien Equine Classic Race Series 4 (2Yo Colts & Geldings) (1St Heat)
Powerhouse juvenile stable Emma Stewart has a strong hand of debutants including Fear The Dragon colt KNIGHT FURY DAN (4). He showed good talent when winning a trial at Ballarat and is sure to be well educated as is stablemate TREACHEROUS DAN (1) who is a son of leading sire Captaintreacherous. He went under narrowly in a trial at Melton and should get every chance from the ace draw. ROMEO (2) is a son of American Ideal and has shown good talent in winning his two trials by handy margins. Draws well so look for a strong showing on debut. Downbytheseaside colt SHORELINE DREAM (5) is the third of the Stewart runners having joined the yard since trialling in SA. Must be kept safe.

Two-year-old gelding lining up for the second time. At debut 5th (Fr5) over 1785m at Stawell was 4th-5.2m 2WWC at the bell, beaten 14 m by Jilliby Ryder (2:13.30) in MAIDEN on March 19 at $17. Will find this tough.
