Yes very impressive from Jilliby Nitro on what looked to be a pretty “off” track as well. Major Bob unleashed a very impressive finishing burst having galloped of the gate.
Jason Lee put a stop to the Turnbulls' dominance tonight otherwise 4 different Turnbulls would have driven the winners of 4 consecutive races - the last being the Smooth Satin Cup, and not only that with Jilliby Nitro winning the next Crown heat he also put an end to them driving the winners of 4 Crown heats in a row. Jilliby Nitro rated a super impressive 1.54.5 for a 2yo having only its 2nd start.

The Shakamaker Classic at Melton on Saturday shapes as a 'classic'
We have four 2yo's with 1 start for 1 win (all in similar good times) in a field of 9

Big 2yo races in NZ tonight
NZ's website has always been better than ours and now they have improved it even further

Mark Purdon has 4 of the 12 in the colts (drawn 2-6!) but only 1 of the 8 in the fillies
He is going for 7 in a row in the colts

No Sweet on Me in the Sales Series Final and Amazing Dream killed them rating 1:55.4. Those fillies are clearly number 1 and number 2 in NZ with a long way to the rest of the pack. Spellbound was disappointing but is the best of the rest at this stage of the season. Stablemates Sweet on Me ($171,960 in stakes) and Amazing Dream (now won $190,467) will face of in the Harness Jewels for their next race. Sweet on Me has been the standout but Amazing Dream has kept improving ad was super tonight.
I thought Youaremy Sunshine from Snake Valley was very impressive in holding off the odds on fav in the Youthful Stakes for 2yo C&G at Melton tonight
He had to cart up the rest of the field to the tearaways and the fav had his back but he was too strong in good time

Agree Kev, and you left out it was an Emma Stewart trained favourite!
By Hurrikane Kingcole who has 5 2yo winners from 35 foals in his first crop. Stands inexpensively in QLD, and is starting to look a very good option for budget conscious Vic breeders who fancy a trip to the Sunshine state in winters to come to pick up QLDs very generous first and second win in QLD bonuses!
The Gp2 $50k Tatlows at Melton tonight
The Stewart stable looks to have a mortgage on the fillies division with the first 3 favourites in the 7 horse field
and although she has the top 2 in the C&G's, Youaremy Sunshine is not far behind them in the market
