RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: What a race to start the night of the Vicbred Super Series semi-finals! Good luck guessing the speed map here because there are so many scenarios, with a host of the big guns drawn on the front row. Regardless of where he ends up, I’m siding with the unbeaten ENJOY LIFE (6). He’s eight from eight to start his career, with his most recent win being a strong VSS heat victory at Kilmore from midfield in the running line. MOST EXCITING (1) lands the coveted gate one and will get a much easier trip than he did when a brave fourth in his qualifier behind The Niteshift. He did plenty of work there and was only beaten 12.9m. SOHO CHARMER (2) sat parked for the last lap and dug deep to hold out his rivals to score narrowly in another of the heats. He looms as a big chance if he can cross to the fence, while MAJOR BLITZ (3) takes plenty of encouragement in his races, but was good when he led and almost held out Le Cardinal in a very good qualifying run last week. There are a few other hopes, including another heat winner in CARDIGAN DAN (13), who would need luck from outside the back row but is very talented.
