Albion Park Race 5

Garrard's Horse And Hound Gold Bullion H

Prize Money: $12,300

WRECK JAMES (1) was a little disappointing last start at this track when 4th (29.60) over 520m. Form here at this distance is strong including five wins. Is yet to taste defeat in two starts from this draw. Can atone. DEADLY AVENGER (2) was a last start winner (29.63) at The Meadows who is building a strong winning record. Form at the trip excellent including six wins. Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Leading player again. MORTON (3) was in traffic close to the inside last time over 525m at The Meadows and fell. Worth following up. MUSTANG HAYZE (8) picked up a cheque last time and is in the mix again.

Missed the frame last time but the start prior was an eye-catching winner after tracking the speed, scoring by 2 lengths in a OPEN at this track. Has the ability and can find winning form again.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at The Meadows over 525m in 29.63 last start, beating Leo Bale. Excellent record from this draw, including three wins. Go well.

Was in traffic close to the inside last time over 525m at The Meadows when fell and resumes from a 11 weeks break. Tough to beat on best and worth another try.

Comments

Form has been solid with minor placings at her last five starts. Last time out finished 3rd on January 9 over 520m at this track behind Good Odds Cobber beaten one length (30.12) in a OPEN. Not keen despite the good run last time.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (35.35) in a OPEN, finishing a 5.5 lengths sixth. Goes very well from the draw boasting two places from three starts. Others rate better this time.
