RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: An open final to start the night of Group 1 action where powerhouse trainer Emma Stewart has six runners in the race, including favourite ENJOY LIFE (2). He suffered the first defeat of his career at start nine in the semi-final last weekend, but was trapped parked and did a great job to run third. If he works to the top as expected, he’s the one to beat. That said, plenty can win including semi-final victors MOST EXCITING (1) and LE CARDINAL (3). MOST EXCITING (1) had this draw and sprint-laned past MAJOR BLITZ (8) to victory there, while LE CARDINAL (3) relished the hot tempo and unleashed his customary finishing burst to run over Luke McCarthy’s top-liner THE NITESHIFT (9), who was very good in defeat from the chair and won his heat at Kilmore prior from the front. CARDIGAN DAN (4) is another that can figure. He was an eye-catcher from near last with some incredible closing splits last weekend behind MOST EXCITING (1). Great race!
