RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: What a brilliant race this is to kick off the meeting at Kilmore. THE ART OF SUCCESS (9) is one of the most exciting mares in the country and she is aiming up for her ninth straight victory here. Most of her wins have come from in front, so her barrier makes for her to adopt a different racing pattern here. But regardless, she is a star and a horse to watch in the Vicbred Super Series Final next weekend. HOUSE PARTY (10) is the new mare on the scene. She’s a big horse and has been given time to develop. She hasn’t been seen since her dominant victory in the Encipher Stakes in October last year. She has only had the two career starts and we will learn more about her here. Fitness is a query. MIKI MOO (2) is a quality mare trained and driven by top NSW participant Luke McCarthy. She has spent most of her career racing in Brisbane. Her own sectional times aren’t far off the big guns in this field and she gets an ideal barrier. WICKED CONFESSION (8), the inaugural Running Of The Bulls winner, is all class and she’s won her two starts back this campaign in style, but she will need to overcome a sticky barrier. Also respecting Ladies In Red’s sister LUV THE NITELIFE (7) as well as PEACE OUT (11) in this event. BACK: R1 #9 THE ART OF SUCCESS into R3 #4 THE LAST TRIP – 3 units (win multi)
