I might be a little biased as his breeder, but if a market was being framed right now, Fly Like An Eagle would be an odds on favourite to win the series. Soho Valencia would be a clear second pick
How do people see the APG Heats for Colts and Geldings playing out this week. Who are the chances and who has some inside info? I see that Soho Valencia and Fly Like An Eagle drew different heats and Grand Stride would be a show at Menangle also.

Interesting insight Mightmo. I saw his win in the Young Guns final and his sprint to leave his rivals flat footed was certainly electrifying. Do you think the travel will have an adverse effect on the horse. I know Mark Purdon travels a lot of horses, but it is rather early in the 2yo season. Do you know how long he has been in oz for?
Think he has been here about a week. Im hoping it wont worry him. Mark is as good a horseman as there is, so Im sure he will have him right.Originally Posted by Termite
Hi Mightymo
He should win easy tonight as he is a class above the rest.
The first heat is probably the weakest in Melton. In the second, Soho Valencia will have a mortgage on 1st place. Saw Real Hammer trial a couple of times. Mad as a cut snake but freakish speed. If he steers alright he will get home real good.
Hi Mightymo
Fly Like A Eagle and Soho Valencia went good but i liked the runs of Medal Of Honour after missing the start and still winning and Gamechanger went a little rough but when he puts it all together look out. Grouse Party House looks more of a 3 yr old to me and still looks very green.
Melton Heats...
Nothing from heat 1 can win
Im going to say Soho Valencia cannot win, Mr Nickel is only thing that can win final from that race but the other Kiwi is supposedly better so will need draw and things to suit
Fly Like an Eagle would have to be the series favourite imo
Menangle Heats
Medal of Honour missed start so is just a class above the rest, hard to get a guage on him from that run because rest went ordinary but youd have to give him a winning chance in final
Gamechanger would have to be Number 1 challenger to Fly Like An Eagle
Nothing from the third heat can win
Albion Park heats
I dont really know them but am going to go out on a limb and say they cant win
At this stage I have it
1. Fly Like An Eagle
2. Gamechanger
3. Mr Nickel
4. Medal of Honour
5. Soho Valencia
Fly Like An Eagle was stunning even though he had an easy go of it when he ran home in the staright he went from plodding to super sonic in a single bound
gamechanger was as good as fly like an eagle last night
