RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: Another apparent match race here in the Vicbred final for four-year-old trotting mares, with heat winners GATESYS GEM (7) and I AM WILMA (11) tough to beat. The barrier draw has really favoured GATESYS GEM (7) as she is expected to work across and find the front. She won her qualifier easily and she’s the one to beat here. Like the on-top selection, I AM WILMA (11) is a Group 1 winner and claimed the other heat in easy fashion. She’s a serious danger, but the back row makes it tough. JILLIBY DREAMLOVER (12) is a star trotter from the Lee stable who did a good job to finish second in the heat behind GATESYS GEM (7), while IRON WOMEN (3) might be able to burn the gate and find the top, and from there would be a good chance of filling a First 4 spot. That said, most of these are capable of running into the back end of the top four. BACK: GATESYS GEM (7) – 4 units (win)
