Victor Harbor Race 3

2026 Skyvalley Nz @ Aldebaran Park Victor Harbor Trotters Cup (Sky 2)

Prize Money: $11,000

IS THAT A BID (5) ran third last start at Gawler over 2550m, beaten 5.5 metres. Meets a comparable field and he can get the job done. ALDEBARAN DEXTA (6) scored at his most recent outing by 3 metres at Gawler over 2550m after an encouraging minor placing the start before. Meets a comparable field and he can make it two on the trot. MADAME KELLY (2) finished fourth two runs ago then broke and finished a distant last over 2550m at Gawler at the latest appearance. Has the benefit of a good draw. Live chance in a similar assignment. HAYOAK (1) must be included after winning her past two starts, the latest at Gawler six days ago.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start won by 3 m (Sr1) at Gawler (2:36.60) beating Mojito Madness in NR up to 59 on March 30 at $6 at the bell was 7th-14. Hard to leave out on current form. Will be about the money again.

Last start 7th (FT Fr3) over 2550m at Gawler well beaten by Aldebaran Dexta (3:14.80) in NR 60 or better on March 30 at $5.50. Before that, was well beaten after breaking at Globe Derby Park on March 21. Can play a far greater role this time.

Comes here second-up after only six days break. Lacklustre first-up performance when 6th (FT Fr2) over 2550m at Gawler, well beaten by Aldebaran Dexta (3:14.80) in NR 60 or better on March 30 at $8. Cannot enthuse in this tough race.

Didn't do much at the last run, 5th (FT Fr1) over 2550m at Gawler beaten 21 m by Aldebaran Dexta (3:14.80) in NR 60 or better on March 30 at $34. Before that 5th (FT Fr4) over 2230m at Globe Derby Park beaten 24 m by Stockman Peter (2:51.20) in NR 60 or better on March 21 at $101. Facing a tough assignment this time around.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Stockman Peter at Globe Derby Park over 2230m in a NR 60 or better on March 21 at $11. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third behind Aldebaran Dexta at Gawler over 2550m in a NR 60 or better on March 30 at $2.60. Looks very hard to beat.

Last start a big 3 m win (20m Fr2) at Gawler (3:14.80) beating All The Trix in NR 60 or better on March 30 at $3.70 at the bell was leading 3.8. In fine form and looks a serious player again.
