RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: PHOENIX REX (3) is clearly in the top few two-year-old trotters in Victoria and had his perfect record blemished when beaten in a heat of the Vicbred Super Series on September 4. That was a big surprise, but he was then scratched from the Group 1 final so not all must have been right. He’s quickly sent back to the races, and based off some of his incredible efforts prior, I’m happy in his corner. REGAL GALA (2) just keeps getting better and better as the season wears on, and finished second to the megastar Verbici in that Vicbred showdown for the boys on September 12. He has the speed to lead and allow James Herbertson to decide what he does from there. INSULATOR (4) galloped in the back straight but got back down and defeated PHOENIX REX (3) in the Vicbred qualifier and ran well from the top for fourth in the final, while KYVALLEY DIXON (6) heads here after claiming the Group 1 Vicbred showdown for two-year-old trotting girls and is certainly a factor.
