Melton Race 9

The Big Screen Company 2Yo 0-1 Ltw Pace

Stake: $6,600

SOHO HUDSON (1) is a son of champion sire Bettors Delight and makes his debut for Michael Stanley. Has been trialling nicely including a win at this circuit. The inside draw is advantage for a first starter so could kick off with a win. KEAYANG HOLLYWOOD (3) is a son of Art Major on debut for Marg Lee. Showed good ability in winning his latest trial at Terang. Aided by a good draw so expect a bold showing. CAPTAIN GROOVE (4) led from this barrier and kept going to break his maiden by close to 4m last start at Yarra Valley. Could go on with it. THE POSTMASTER (2) improved to place at his second start and draws much lower so could progress further.

Two back was well beaten into eighth after being driven well back, behind Carramar Titmus at Bendigo over 1650m in a 2yo MAIDEN on October 16 at $34. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Sinbad Sassy at Geelong over 1609m in a 2yo MAIDEN on November 15 at $21. One of the chances.

Recent efforts have been impressive. Last start won just off the speed and boxed on; posted a big 4 m win when quickly away, (Fr4) at Yarra Valley (1:58.40) beating Another Collect in 2yo MAIDEN on November 7 at $5.50 at the bell was 2nd-6.1. Can go on with it.

Didn't do much last time out, was well back in the run when 8th (Fr6) over 2240m at this track, beaten 35 m by Hesitate (2:43.80) in 2yo No NR CG on November 8 at $151. Before that was well back in the run when 8th (Fr6) over 2240m at this track, beaten 30 m by Hesitate (2:42.70) in 2yo LR No NR CG on October 26 at $101. Improvement needed.

Last start was well back in the run when 9th (Fr5) over 2240m at this track beaten 40 m by Hesitate (2:43.80) in 2yo No NR CG on November 8 at $151. Two runs back solid effort despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr6) over 1690m at Kilmore was 5th-9.9m 2WWC at the bell, beaten 2 m by The Villain (2:05.20) in 2yo 0-1 WIN on August 1 at $4.40. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Solid prospect with that run under the belt.
