RACE COMMENT

OVERVIEW: Looks a race in two here where MIDNIGHT MOTH (4) will likely start a short-priced favourite on debut against the first-up MATRIARCH DAISY (7). MIDNIGHT MOTH (4) hails from the powerhouse Emma Stewart barn and warmed up for his debut with a dominant Terang trial victory on March 31. The time wasn’t overly slick, but the performance was good and we know how amazing this stable is with young horses. MATRIARCH DAISY (7) has been extremely impressive in two Bacchus Marsh trial wins and has the experience of one race start where she got home nicely from the back to finish fifth at Melton in September. The rest are all capable of filling the placings, but a win would surprise.
