RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Cracking Group 2 Vicbred 4YO mares’ final where I reckon MISS ARI (3) shapes as a great each-way bet, with perhaps a heavier focus on the place. She is a top-end mare who ran well in a heat of this series from three back the fence when a closing third to LET HER ROLL (13) and SOHO AMERICANO (12), and importantly draws to find the fence here. I’d expect her to take cover on go-forward horse WICKED CONFESSION (7), who will likely be driven confidently by Alex Ashwood. She should be in a striking position turning for home and I think she can be fighting out the finish. WICKED CONFESSION (7) was outstanding sitting parked and running hot sectionals in a heat at Kilmore when second to THE ART OF SUCCESS (11), who is a winning machine and stretched her sequence to nine. This is a big challenge from the back row, though, as it is for LET HER ROLL (13) and SOHO AMERICANO (12), who look the other key hopes. BACK: MISS ARI (3) – 1 unit (win)/2 units (place)
