RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: SOHO PIASTRI (6) produced a sizzling last half to win the Vicbred Super Series Bronze last Friday night at Melton, breaking 55sec for the final 800m while racing away to score by 15.7m. If he is able to work over and take the front off likely early leader DANCE AFFAIR (4) – a horse that usually likes to take a trail in his races – then he could prove hard to chase down. MOST EXCITING (10) won a semi-final of the Vicbred series and placed third in the Group 1 final from a good draw, has the obvious class and will likely run a deserved favourite, TO THE NINES (9) brought good form to Melton last weekend and ran really well from the breeze for third in a race five of these horses contested, while DANCE AFFAIR (4) should find the fence and did finish second in that aforementioned race behind Gunforhire with a similar trip. PICK UP ELVIS (11) and BIZZNESS CLASS (12) look the other leading contenders in a clash with lots of depth.
