Matching with a regex

I have a string like:

{
    { SomeTextNoQuotes, "Some Text's", "Some Text" },
    { SomeTextNoQuotes, "Some Text's", "Some Text" },
    { SomeTextNoQuotes, "Some Text's", "Some Text" },
    { SomeTextNoQuotes, "Some Text's", "Some Text" },
    { SomeTextNoQuotes, "Some Text's", "Some Text" },
}

How can I match the last , "Some Text" of each row, just before the }? By the way, this is in Sublime Text that I'm trying to do it. The values are not consistent like I have them here, and I have a few hundred lines to replace on.

I tried , ".*" but that matches , "Some Text's, "Some Text".

A few ways you could go about this.

Option #1 we match the first set and then capture the second including the comma in group \1 or $1

"[^"]*"(, "[^"]*")

See live demo

Option #2 we use a look ahead to find that matched set.

, "[^"]*"(?= \})

See live demo

Option #3 we can match the whole string and our match is included in capture group \1 or $1 

\{[\S\s]*?(,\s+"[^"]*")\s+\}

See live demo

The following should work (using lookahead):

("Some Text")(?= \}\,)

The captured text will be found in the first matched group

I don't use Sublime Text, but if it supports lookaheads, , ".[^"]*"(?= }) should do the trick.
