RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Well, here it is. It’s the inaugural Running of the Bulls – Victoria’s very first harness slot race – and what a field it has drawn. There’s an intriguing battle between a range of horses with differing formlines and ratings, with the early speed battle crucial around the tight, turning circuit of Birchip. While she’s only lightly raced and never really been buzzed off the gate, WICKED CONFESSION (1) appears to have the speed to lead and will take plenty of catching if she’s left alone. She has won her two starts for Alex Ashwood by incredible margins in good time and might just be the surprise packet of this year’s event. There’s a whole host of other winning chances, though. SANCHEZ (3) has been set for this race for some time and went awfully close to winning the hot 4YO Bonanza on February 14 at his second run back from a break. He’s a good horse who has contested good races throughout his career and looms as a huge chance. MAXY WANTS TO PLAY (9) was great through the line in the Ararat Pacing Cup and prior to that at Kilmore in a race won by the very smart GOLDEN TRIBE (11), while METEOR MOTH (12) didn’t appear to handle the Ararat circuit overly well, but was very brave after a tough trip and was massive in the Mercury80 when just beaten by top-liner Himanameisjeff before that. They can probably all win with the right trip, so a field ticket in the Quaddie wouldn’t be a crazy idea.
