FEATURE RACE COMMENT
In the feature event at Addington on Friday, the Group Two NRM Trotting Stakes for two-year-olds, it was merely a training run for race favourite Fear Factor.
Returning a winning dividend of $1.30, Fear Factor showed her dominance in the first 200m when bolting straight to the lead from barrier four.
It was then an armchair drive for Blair Orange as he dictated the terms and eased the Sundon filly home under a hold in the home straight.
Ulter Boy capitalised on his trail trip, running home for second three-lengths behind the favourite and Sun Lad finished solidly down the outer for third placing.
Fear Factor has now won three races from four starts, two of which have been Group Two features for $46,000 in stakes.
She is now a clear contender in the race for Two-Year-Old Trotting Filly of the Year, with the defection of her closest rival Constar.
Constar was scratched from Friday's race due to a viral complaint.
