Melton Race 1

Woodlands Stud Breeders Crown (3Yo Colts & Geldings) (Heat)

Stake: $11,400

MAC BON (5) hasn't raced for seven weeks but has been kept up to the mark with placings in two recant trials. Won the two-year-old colts and geldings final of this series at this circuit and distance last year so his best form would see him tough to stop. MY ULTIMATE JIMMY NZ (8) takes a step up in grade but is in form having won his last two outings at Mildura. Draws for a trail and is building a handy strike rate. SOHO THE REAL DEAL (3) comes through the Vicbred Super Series where he drew on the back row when placed in a consolation at Bendigo last week. Draws to play a role. IM ALL BUSINESS (6) brings consistent form from SA where he placed last time but recorded a string of wins prior. Include.

Two back was well beaten into ninth after a quick start, behind New Shuffle at this track over 2240m in a 3yo No NR CG on November 15 at $26. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind Ollies The Boss at Bendigo over 2150m in a 3yo No NR CG on November 26 at $8. Draws for a good showing.

Last start was well beaten into eighth after a quick start, behind Double Lou at Menangle over 1609m in a 3yo No NR CG on October 18 at $2.80. Performed better the start before where he won by a head as favourite when quickly away, (Fr5) at Menangle (1:50.30) beating Double Lou in 3yo No NR CG on October 7 at $1.85. Rates highly. Won the final of this series as a juvenile last year so his best form would see him hard to stop.
