Albion Park Race 7

Id25 Ladbrokes Inter Dominion Trotting Championship Grand Final (Group 1)

Prize Money: $500,000

Kiwi star BET N WIN (5) shoots for a series clean sweep after making it four wins on the trot with a 3.5m success last week. Showed some versatility there by using the sprint lane and finishing hard after leading throughout and dominating in round one. Unbeaten here and left NZ with a Rowe Cup win over 3200m so the distance holds no fears. ARCEE PHOENIX (1) has been building nicely through the series and should be hitting his peak fourth up. Started on the back row and worked when runner-up last week and draws for a soft run. Looks to have a real sense of timing so is a huge chance. GUS (13) isn't the most reliable of trotters but has been the eye catcher in steaming home to place from similar barriers in both rounds. If he gets it right on the big night he could blow them away. Last week's winner PARISIAN ARTISTE (4) is very honest and placed in his only try at this distance. Draws to be competitive. Little has gone to plan for OSCAR BONAVENA (12) this series but he has the talent.

Good performance when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third behind Bet N Win at this track over 2138m in a No NR on July 5 at $2.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Parisian Artiste at this track over 2680m in a No NR on July 12 at $2.80. Smart trotter who will be hitting peak fitness now so can go close.

Last start 3rd (Fr2) over 2680m at this track beaten 14 m by Parisian Artiste (3:15.80) in No NR on July 12 at $61. Two runs back 8th (Fr4) over 2138m at this track beaten 21 m by Bet N Win (2:34.30) in No NR on July 5 at $81. Doubt he can match these.

Racing in great heart. Last start won a big 6 m win when quickly away, (Fr4) at this track (3:15.80) beating Arcee Phoenix in No NR on July 12 at $6. Reliable and from a good draw can be in the finish.

Has won four in a row. Posted a big 3.5 m win as favourite when quickly away, (Fr2) at this track (3:16.10) beating London To A Brick in No NR on July 12 at $1.40. Two runs back won by 3 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr1) at this track (2:34.30) beating Not As Promised in No NR on July 5 at $1.70. Proven at the distance and can maintain his unbeaten record here.

Last start 4th (Sr3) over 2680m at this track, beaten 6 m by Bet N Win (3:16.10) in No NR on July 12 at $14. Two runs back 2nd (Fr2) over 2138m at this track, beaten 3 m by Bet N Win (2:34.30) in No NR on July 5 at $21. Has been good through the heats so could sneak into the exotics.

Six-year-old gelding who has been thereabouts in recent starts. Last start 4th (Sr4) over 2680m after being wide early at this track, beaten 18 m by Parisian Artiste (3:15.80) in No NR on July 12 at $21. Will struggle from a wide draw. Cannot enthuse.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4.5 m third behind Bet N Win at this track over 2680m No NR last start. Before that was beaten a nose second again at this track over 2138m same class on July 5. Has been the eye catcher through the heats and could beat them with his best.
