RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Semi-final two for the three-year-old colts and geldings, where, like race one, plenty have a chance. There are good wraps on THE NITESHIFT (5), and he showed why with a dominant front-running win in his heat at Kilmore last week. He worked across THIS IS HEAVEN (1) to lead and took out the quickest of the six encounters by 8.3m. If he works to the top again, he will be awfully hard to stop. NEPTUNITE (2) ran a really good race for second in the qualifier behind Soho Charmer and draws the front row this time, reigning Vicbred two-year-old champion SOHO TRUMP (6) found the top in his heat and was too strong for stablemate SOHO PARK AVENUE (8), who was parked and did a great job to box on and finish just 1.8m away. Other key chances are THIS IS HEAVEN (1) from the good draw, DUSTY PHILTRA (4), who was super when running a fast-finishing third to Enjoy Life, and heat winner LE CARDINAL (7), who is very talented but needs the speed on to be a factor from the horror draw.
