RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: WICKED CONFESSION (1) is a very talented mare and bargain buy purchase for the Alex Ashwood stable who ran a cracker for second in a heat of the Vicbred Super Series before only going down by 4.9m in fast time in the Group 1 final on September 19. She has good gate speed, and if she can lead and control the race, she will be awfully hard to run down. CIGANO (6) ran well from a sticky gate in the Vicbred heats but failed to qualify for the final of the four-year-old boys’ division. He’s a very good horse who is capable of a sizzling last lap and shapes as the key danger, if not, the one to beat. They look the two key winning hopes. ALWAYS BE BLAKEY (4) led and won very impressively here at Melton on August 8 and was a brave second from the chair last time behind Sweet Ideal at Terang, while WORDS (3) was trapped outside the leader last weekend at Melton and only tired late behind Royal Appointment, but ran well in free-for-all grade from the fence prior. He has good gate speed, so it will be interesting to see if Chris Alford has a crack at crossing at the start.
