RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Great to see the Kilmore Pacing Cup elevated to Group 1 level, and what a battle we have between champion LEAP TO FAME (8) and New Zealand raider REPUBLICAN PARTY (2). The Kiwi is first-up from back-to-back Group 1 wins in his home country and importantly draws to find the front and control this contest over the middle trip of 2180m. He’s yet to beat home LEAP TO FAME (8), but did get awfully close when flashing late in last year’s A G Hunter Cup. Most recently, he chased him for second in the Group 1 Free-For-All on November 14 at Addington. There’s not a heap between the two and the gate advantage gives REPUBLICAN PARTY (2) a great chance, but I’m still with LEAP TO FAME (8) after his incredible death-seat track-record win over Kingman in the Cranbourne Gold Cup last weekend. The pair should run the quinella, with last-start Vicbred Super Series victor MIKI TO SUCCESS (4) fancied of the Emma Stewart trio and JILLIBY NITRO (6) expected to run well after charging through the line to grab fourth at Cranbourne, beaten just 5.6m.
