Melton Race 8 - Aldebaran Park Gavin Lang Memorial 2yo Trotting Colts & Geldings

REGAL GALA (5) is a reliable young trotter who made it two wins in a row when he led to score by 8 metres at Maryborough last time. Yet to miss a place here and has the speed to push forward from this barrier. Big chance to land the hat trick. INSULATOR (4) has been consistent since winning a Vicbred heat at this venue, chasing well for second to REGAL GALA last start. Proven at this shorter distance. Go well again. PHOENIX REX (6) broke after the standing start last time so may enjoy getting back behind a mobile. Has won three of five tries here including his lone attempt at this distance. LUXALICIOUS (2) did well for third on debut in a Listed race behind star youngster Verbici at Menangle. Well drawn and open to improvement.

Two-year-old gelding facing the starter for the second time. At debut solid effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr5) over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 16 m by Verbici (1:58.90) in 2yo LR on October 10 at $51. Draws well and has plenty of upside.

Good run when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third behind Regal Gala at this track over 2240m in a 2yo on September 26 at $11. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing second behind Regal Gala at Maryborough over 2190m in a 2yo on October 12 at $5. Draws well and is likely to be there at the business end.

Two-year-old colt is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at Maryborough and this track. Last start posted a big 8 m win as favourite (FT) at Maryborough (2:46.60) beating Insulator in 2yo on October 12 at $2.30 at the bell was leading 2.8. Reliable colt who can land the hat trick.
