Albion Park Race 4

Pryde's Easifeed Three Trotters Discretionary Handicap

Prize Money: $14,980

ZEALOUS SPUR (8) was rewarded for his consistency when he returned to the winners' list last start, working when parked but proving too good by more than 5m. Accomplished at standing starts so can go on with it. MCGEE (1) is hard to knock having come from the back row to win his last two outings at this circuit. Building an impressive strike rate here and is proven at standing starts. Big chance from the front mark. LOVE GUN (7) chased Zealous Spur as runner-up last time but beat that rival and several more of these when winning his previous two outings here. Major player. HIDE AND SEEK (6) has won a trial since returning to winning form last start and could go on with it. IZARRA (2) has been racing consistently and can be competitive again from the front mark. Something for the Multiples: ZEALOUS SPUR NZ (8)

Last start 4th (Fr5) over 1660m at this track beaten 9 m by Zealous Spur (2:01.60) in No NR on August 23 at $13. Before that, a solid effort despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr4) over 2138m at this track, beaten 1.75 m by Hide And Seek (2:37.20) in No NR on August 14 at $6.50. Solid hope.
