Melton Race 3 - Nutrien Equine Classic Race Series 4 (3Yo Colts & Geldings) (2Nd Heat)

THE HIGHLIGHT REEL (2) returns from a successful Sydney raid where he scored a resuming win in a NSW Derby heat before breaking early but recovering to place in the G1 final at Menangle last time out. Won his only try at this circuit and distance and should be able to dictate from this draw. Stablemate STORMS COLLIDE (4) was also first up when he won a heat of the NSW Derby two back before he copped a wide barrier for the final. He is suited back to this distance having recorded a win and a placing from two attempts. GOLDEN TRIBE (3) recorded back-to-back wins before he led and boxed on as runner-up here last time. Can be prominent from this draw. SANCHEZ (6) wasn't far away in two rounds of the Gold Chalice at Bathurst following a fresh win. Dangerous on his day. NEW SHUFFLE (5) kicked off his campaign with a couple of wins before two solid efforts at this circuit, clocking in second from the back line two back before a close fourth last time.

Last start 6th (Sr1) over 1720m at this track, beaten 20 m by Artist (2:03.90) in 0-1 WIN on March 14 at $34. Two runs back won by 2 m after showing early speed, (Fr6) at Geelong (1:59.00) beating Jilliby Ryder in MAIDEN on March 7 at $13 at the bell was leading 1.89. Might find this a bit tough.

Could challenge.
