RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Semi-final two for the three-year-old fillies where QUATRO MOTH (5) is set to start a short favourite despite her below-expectations performance in the heat at Kilmore. There, she ran a $1.20 elect, found the front and kicked clear into the straight, only to be run down late and fall into third. She has actually been beaten her last three starts when deep in the odds-on range and can get a little rough under pressure, so is certainly a risk. That said, I’ll back the Emma Stewart stable to get her right, and at her best she’s the horse to beat. SWEET IRISH LOCH (3) ran well enough for fifth in her heat behind Alot Like Jeannie and was a close-up third behind a couple of handy Stewart stablemates at Melton prior to that. She will likely press forward and is a chance of finding the early lead. KEAYANG PASSION (7) was third in the heats to Bettor Beach in a fast last half, and despite being drawn awkward, is a classy enough type who finished fourth in a Group 1 NSW Oaks during May, while TRYX VIXEN (2) is one that I think can improve sharply at odds if she can cross to the fence and get a nice run in transit. ISTHISTHEREALLIFE (12), ENOLA (13) and RACHELS LEGACY (6) all ran well in their respective qualifiers, but have tough gates.
