Melton Race 9 - Apg Vicbred Super Series (2yo Trotting Colts & Geldings) (1st Heat)

Exciting gelding VERBICI (5) stretched his unbeaten run to five when he came from one spot wider to score at this circuit and distance last start. Impossible to knock what he has done so far and just needs even luck to add to the picket fence. REGAL GALA (7) added to a string of top-three results when only 1.3m behind VERBICI last start. Draws wider but impressed with an easy win here two back so with even luck can make a race if it again. KYVALLEY DIABLO (1) has ground to make up on the top-two through last start gets his lowest draw yet. That could see him more competitive. PASTOR CASH (9) may need some luck from this draw but he is open to improvement off a debut second to REGAL GALA.

Two-year-old colt facing the starter for the second time. At debut good run when 2nd (Fr1) over 1720m at this track, at the bell was 5th-11.72 beaten 15 m by Regal Gala (2:06.30) in 2yo on August 15 at $4.33. Decent effort last start. Awkwardly drawn but is likely to progress.
