2025 TROT RODS - HEAT 6 947m

Track: GOOD      

RAINBOW TITAN (2) resumes after finishing tenth at his latest appearance at Young on February 11. Has the benefit of a good draw. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he good enough to play a major role. NAUTIE GALVINATOR (3) has been a bit hot and cold and that continued last start when he finished second, beaten a head, in a nice return to form at this track over 2040m. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run, can lead from the draw. Meets a comparable field so he can play a major role. SHARDS MATRIX (6) disappointed last time when sixth over 1660m at Albion Park. Can do a lot better so worth considering. THERESACHANCE (4) must be respected off the last-start win.
