RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: SOHO BELLAGIO (4) was a huge winner at Menangle on debut and then had little chance in his Vicbred Super Series heat for two-year-old colts and geldings the way the race was run. He still did a great job to come off the fence for the last lap, close the margin to 9.3m on Some High and record the fastest last half despite covering extra ground. You’d anticipate the aggressive driving style of Michael Stanley would get him to the front here, and from there he’d be the one to beat. LAKE COMO (10) is a very promising gelding from the Jess Tubbs stable who came three-wide in the final half and only went down 4.7m when running second to Cardigan Sniper in the last of three heats last Friday. He’s a danger with the right tempo. FULLY RECKLESS (6) led, handed up and was dragged out of proceedings by a tiring horse in his qualifier behind front-running winner SMACK BANG BART (7), but made up ground when clear and can turn the tables on that rival with a bit of luck. The other key hopes are AUSTON (9) and THEMIDNIGHTEXPRESS (3), but loom more as place chances for mine. BACK: SOHO BELLAGIO (4) – 3 units (win)
