Port Pirie Race 4 - 2026 Wombat Hotel Kadina Trotters Cup
IS THAT A BID (9) scored at the first run back from a break last start over 2230m at Globe Derby Park on February 23, finishing 3.5 metres ahead of his rivals. Facing a tougher assignment but he is good enough to cope. PHOEBE ONYX NZ (10) has raced two times this campaign and has filled a minor placing on each occasion. Again performed impressively last time out, making up plenty of ground but finding one better over 2230m at Globe Derby Park. Must raise the bar but a return to the winners' stall is not out of the question. ALDEBARAN DEXTA (8) did a good job to finish 5.5 metres from the winner in third first-up last start after breaking in the run over 2230m at Globe Derby Park. It doesn't get any easier but he is going well enough to be competitive. MADAME KELLY (5) finished third at Globe Derby Park last time. Consistent and deserves respect.
