Melton Race 10 - Apg Vicbred Super Series (2yo Trotting Colts & Geldings) (2nd Heat)

PHOENIX REX (5) maintained his perfect record when he ventured north for a G2 win at Albion Park last start. His other three victories each came at this venue, drawing wider than this and racing three deep without cover but proving too tough two back. The one to beat. INSULATOR (1) improved to place when second-up at this circuit and distance last start, coming from this barrier to get within 3.6m of the unbeaten Verbici. Could progress further with added fitness. WHERDASUNDONTSHINE (2) is a colt by Majestic Son on debut for Jess Tubbs. Has been trialling well and a nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Keep safe. SUMTHIN DIFFERENT (7) has had two months off since a G2 placing at Menangle last start but has been kept up to the mark with two trials, winning the latest.

Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third behind Verbici at this track over 2240m in a 2yo on August 22 at $21. Draws well and is working up to a win.
