Melton Race 2 - Apg Vicbred Super Series (2yo Colts & Geldings) (1st Heat)

SMACK BANG BART (6) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1740m at Riverina Paceway, finishing second and just a nose from the winner. Finds a nice race and can take this out. FULLY RECKLESS NZ (2) comes here after making a move a long way from home and getting the prize by 1.2 metres at his latest appearance over 1740m at Riverina Paceway. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets some better types this time but another win is on the cards. SOHO CRUZA (5) is the next elect off a last-start win by a nose at Penrith over 1720m. FARROH JOE (7) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 2240m at this track last time out.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Havtimemajor at Albion Park over 1660m in a 2yo G1 on July 11 at $8. Then a handy effort when a close second after a quick start, behind Boystrous at Riverina Paceway over 1740m in a 2yo on August 14 at $1.22. Sure to run well.
