RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Great battle between the Michael Stanley and Emma Stewart stables here, with SOHO TRUMP (1) favoured for the former. He won the Group 2 Vicbred Super Series final as a two-year-old in 2025 and sadly missed this year’s decider after a torrid run in the semi-finals. He was trapped parked there on a hot speed and dropped out late to finish ninth. He led and won a heat at Kilmore prior to that and looks the horse to beat after the kind barrier draw as he is expected to lead. Stewart’s SEASIDE BOY (4) ran well from a bad draw in his Vicbred heat at Kilmore but missed the semi-finals and is a smart pacer who has performed strongly in some good races at Melton this campaign, Stanley stablemate SOHO PARK AVENUE (9) was perhaps a bit plain in the semi but ran well from outside the leader in the first round of qualifiers and is a handy type, while Stewart’s LOWRIDER (11) and STAR VISION (6) are other contenders with the scratching of SOHO CHARMER (13).
