SELECTIONS: PHOENIX REX (3), DANCE FIGHTER (8), PIQUE (1), MAJARO GIRL (4)
OVERVIEW: Two-year-old PHOENIX REX (3) won his maiden in a dominant fashion on debut at Melton on June 26, charging clear of his rivals to score by a 14.2m. He trialled nicely after that and finds another suitable race to continue the unbeaten start to his career. DANCE FIGHTER (8) hasn’t raced since January, but her last campaign included a big victory in the $20,000 Vicbred Platinum Homegrown final and a really good second to the smart Alrighty in a Vicbred Silver final at Melton. She must be a hope based off that form. PIQUE (1) galloped when under pressure behind the leader at Geelong last Friday, but draws well and ran a good second first-up before a win at Ballarat, while MAJARO GIRL (4) is first-up for master trainer Andy Gath and has been very consistent in her runs as a two-year-old at Menangle this season.
BACK: PHOENIX REX (3) – 3 units (win)
