Menangle Race 4

Apg Sydney Sales Graduate Series (2Yo Colts & Geldings) Final

Stake: $162,000

DYNAMITEDAN (6) was beaten into second when making his debut as a hot favourite in the heats but he only missed narrowly after racing parked. He'll be better for the experience and hails from a leading yard with an outstanding record in juvenile features. He can atone. A BUCK TEN (8) did a good job to get the better of DYNAMITEDAN at this circuit and distance in the heats. That was his first hitout since a fourth in the Bathurst Gold Crown in March so while drawn deeper he should be improved. BELFAST CITY (2) drew wide but worked to the front and boxed on for third to the top two selections first up. The better draw should see him competitive again. BELLAMYS BLAST (1) is aided by the ace draw so is worth including.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 5th-10.31 beaten 10 m by A Buck Ten (1:55.50) in 2yo No NR CG on June 3 at $41. Showed ability the run before when he won by 4 m when driven back in the field, (Fr6) held up early, at Goulburn (2:08.00) beating Stinson in 2yo MAIDEN on May 19 at $3.70 at the bell was 4th-8.6. Top-four prospects.

Second-up here following a spell. Solid effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr9) over 1609m at this track, at the bell was leading 3.34 beaten 4 m by A Buck Ten (1:55.50) in 2yo No NR CG on June 3 at $15. Draws well and is expected to feature in the finish.

Two-year-old colt lining up for the second time. At debut was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 20 m by A Buck Ten (1:55.50) in 2yo No NR CG on June 3 at $21. Needs to improve sharply.

Comes here second-up after a week-and-a-half. Lacklustre first-up performance when 9th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track beaten 60 m by A Buck Ten (1:55.50) in 2yo No NR CG on June 3 at $81. Tested.

Two-year-old colt facing the starter for the second time. At debut game effort when 2nd (Fr7) over 1609m after racing wide at this track, at the bell was 2nd-3.34 beaten a nose by A Buck Ten (1:55.50) in 2yo No NR CG on June 3 at $1.35. With improvement likely he'll be hard to stop.

Last start 6th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track was 6th-13.09 at the bell, beaten 11 m by A Buck Ten (1:55.50) in 2yo No NR CG on June 3 at $41. Two runs back posted a big 15 m win when quickly away, (Fr3) at Newcastle (1:56.70) beating Riley Rocket in MAIDEN on May 16 at $4.60. Not keen.

Two-year-old colt who is showing promise. Solid first up, won by a nose when quickly away, (Fr3) held up early, at this track (1:55.50) beating Dynamitedan in 2yo No NR CG on June 3 at $3.50 at the bell was 3rd-6.13. Rates highly and looks a big chance again.
