RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Emma Stewart has a mortgage on this Vicbred final for the four-year-old colts and geldings, but finding the winner is tricky. It will likely come down to the map and who finds the front, and I fancy that might ultimately be FAIRPLAY (4) for Mark Pitt. He has won all five races this campaign, including a heat of this series last week at Kilmore when he controlled things at the head of affairs. From the top, he’d be the one to beat. Stablemate APOLLOSTORM (3) absolutely rattled home for third in that same qualifier and is a very speedy conveyance who would be a huge threat if he got to the fence, THE LAST TRIP (9) has just been outstanding since joining the Stewart stable and remains unbeaten from five goes for the yard, while STORMS COLLIDE (1) heads the other winning chances given his good gate. Hard to leave out some of the others, but SEATHESTARS (2), FOX DAN (8), NEW SHUFFLE (11) and heat winner I AM THE STORM (6) must be considered for trifectas and First 4s.
