RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: GLADIATRIX (2) is a Group 1-winning trotter from New South Wales who heads back to Victoria looking to make amends for two disappointing results in the Vicbred and Breeders Crown finals as a two-year-old during 2025. She won the elite-level NSW Trotters Oaks in May and was a beaten short-priced favourite when caught parked last time out in the Group 2 Trot NSW Final in early July. She might be able to work to the top here, and from there would be hard to run down. ALDEBARAN ADA (1) is a classy trotter who won a heat and final of the rich Nutrien series at Wagga during May before being freshened for this assignment. From the good draw, she’s a key danger. QUEEN OF SEES (5) wasn’t beaten far in a recent trial at Melton and looks to have some good ability, while TRUSCOTTS ELEGANCE (8) charged late from the one-one to run down PURPLE MOON (7) and win in good style at Maryborough last week. They’re outside winning hopes, but certainly factors for trifecta and First 4 players along with the fast beginner ARGYLE MUSE (3). BACK: GLADIATRIX (2) – 3 units (win)
