RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Very keen on the chances here of LOCKSLEY CAVALIER (3), who presents first-up from a freshen without a trial. In his one run last campaign, he did an incredible job to finish third from last in a race where first and second across the line were the leader and leader’s back. He was beaten less than 10m in a Group 1 Vicbred Super Series final before that and I think he has the scope to go onto bigger and better things. VICI BLOOM (5) looms as the key danger based off her good trials and dominant first-up win from the front at Melton on August 15. She’s a talent and will be hard to beat, particularly if she gets to the top. FREIGHT SHAKER (1) is an honest type who draws well in gate one, while NAKEDTRUTH (7) dropped out badly with an issue last time but has been back to the trials and defeated Group 1 winner Gatesys Gem in good style there recently.
