ID25 LADBROKES INTER DOMINION TROTTING CHAMPIONSHIP GRAND FINAL (GROUP 1) 3157m

Track: GOOD      

Kiwi star BET N WIN (5) shoots for a series clean sweep after making it four wins on the trot with a 3.5m success last week. Showed some versatility there by using the sprint lane and finishing hard after leading throughout and dominating in round one. Unbeaten here and left NZ with a Rowe Cup win over 3200m so the distance holds no fears. ARCEE PHOENIX (1) has been building nicely through the series and should be hitting his peak fourth up. Started on the back row and worked when runner-up last week and draws for a soft run. Looks to have a real sense of timing so is a huge chance. GUS (13) isn't the most reliable of trotters but has been the eye catcher in steaming home to place from similar barriers in both rounds. If he gets it right on the big night he could blow them away. Last week's winner PARISIAN ARTISTE (4) is very honest and placed in his only try at this distance. Draws to be competitive. Little has gone to plan for OSCAR BONAVENA (12) this series but he has the talent.

Good performance when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third behind Bet N Win at this track over 2138m in a No NR on July 5 at $2.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Parisian Artiste at this track over 2680m in a No NR on July 12 at $2.80. Smart trotter who will be hitting peak fitness now so can go close.

Meets Parisian Artiste again; when 25 metres seventh at this track over 2680m in a No NR race on July 12. Capable on his day so it wouldn't shock to see him in the first four.
