SELECTIONS: SOHO TRUMP (3), SEASIDE BOY (5), MOONLIGHT MOTH (13), LE CARDINAL (1)
OVERVIEW: It is an outstanding semi-final for the colts and geldings with many winning chances. SOHO TRUMP (3) remains undefeated in two starts and scorched around the Bendigo circuit at his first run since February to win his heat, recording a scintillating final half of 53.7 seconds. He is a good chance of finding the lead again and will take catching. SEASIDE BOY (5) was heavily supported on the back of his brilliant debut victory but endured a torrid trip when fifth in the heat won by LUVTOBEUPTOME (4). He is a classy colt and is worth another chance. MOONLIGHT MOTH (13) produced a phenomenal performance after making a slow getaway to win the Premiere Stakes in a mile rate of 1.52.3 on October 04. He was always in the second half of the field in his heat performance but sectionally, his run was still very good so he cannot be left out of calculations. LE CARDINAL (1) is a promising maiden with the perfect draw, MOST EXCITING (2) is yet to miss a place in three starts, LUVTOBEUPTOME (4) is shooting for a hat trick and CARDIGAN DAN (10) won the Ballarat Rising Star in July so a good case can be made for the majority of the field.
