RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: MAORIS MAC (9) is the pin-up horse for the Josh Aiken stable and she steps out for her first run since a third placing behind megastar Keayang Zahara in the Group 1 Great Square at Albion Park in December. She’s only won four races but has been competing against star rivals for much of her career, and I really liked her recent trial at Shepparton when closing nicely behind top three-year-old Pastor Dunbar. She draws well and I fancy she will give this a shake. VICI BLOOM (6) has been in great form this campaign with two wins from two Melton starts and gets another good chance here. A big asset is her gate speed, and she is expected to work forward in a bid to find the top. From there, she has proven too slick in her two starts in 2026 and that might be the case again. SAM NIEN (5) produced a big turnaround in form to claim Group 1 Vicbred glory last weekend when leading, handing up and sprint-laning to victory. That will likely be the tactics again. Meanwhile, QUIRKY CHARACTER (8) looks back to somewhere near his best following two good recent runs and is another of the key chances along with RUBYS DREAM (7) and KARBINE (4). BACK: MAORIS MAC (9) – 2 units (win)
