RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: THE ART OF SUCCESS (9) and KEAYANG SWEETHEART (11) have battled it out a couple of times this campaign, with the head-to-head score sitting at 1-1. KEAYANG SWEETHEART (11) led and won first-up at Geelong in a tight finish over THE ART OF SUCCESS (9), who then finished second when the pair placed behind Morris Brown on Terang Cup night. Both have been impressive winning subsequent to that, but I’ve got a slight leaning to the Emma Stewart runner based off her gutsy effort in that first-up clash and from the slightly better draw. KEAYANG SWEETHEART (11) was super beating the handy Wicked Confession at Bendigo in slick time on April 8 and can certainly win, while possibly early leader KIA ORA BEAUTY (4) and MAAS BETTING AGAIN (8) head the other chances in a good little race for the mares over 1720m.
