RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: The Vicbred final for the four-year-old trotting entires and geldings looks a match race between Victorian ALRIGHTY (10) and NSW visitor I AM HELLBOUND (12). I’ll lean towards the horse with the home ground advantage and seemingly better barrier. Anndy Gath’s charge has been airborne this campaign and stretched his winning sequence to four with an easy front-running success in his heat at Melton last week. I AM HELLBOUND (12) has been a great pick-up for Scott Hewitt through 2026, and showed his class with a dominant win in the other qualifier. It would be a shock if one of the two didn’t win, with IJUSTCALLEDTOSAY (13) and KARBINE (8) perhaps the leading contenders outside those after eye-catching heat runs where they closed off nicely and into the placings.
