Albion Park Race 8

Ladbrokes Racing Extras In Multi Pace

Prize Money: $6,260

CHEZZ DALE NZ (4) made a nice return at his latest appearance a week ago, held up late when finishing 2.7 metres away in third. That continued a string of top-three finishes from last campaign. Draws lower and will be fitter so can go one better. KASH TIN (2) has come from wide barriers of late and was good when only 1.6m away as runner-up two back. This is stronger but he has the benefit of a better draw. TEDDY TURPIN (7) made a mess of the start when resuming but will be fitter. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position but if he get things right he can be in the money. BELLISSIMO ACQUISTO NZ (8) is first up for three-and-a-half months but has a sound fresh record and was readied with a trial win so could open this campaign with a positive effort.

Failed to impress last start; 9th (Fr3) over 1980m at Tamworth beaten 80 m by Exclusive Hustler (2:24.10) in G3 NR 60 to 75 on January 23 at $41.

Player from the ace draw.

Having his second run back from a spell. Good run despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr6) over 2138m after being wide early at this track, beaten 2.75 m by Rock Supreme (2:33.70) in 3yo+ NR up to 75 on February 6 at $3.30. Fitter and ready to find winning form.

Two back was well beaten into seventh after a quick start, behind Gem Punter Pete at this track over 1660m in a NR up to 75 on January 31 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Rock Supreme at this track over 2138m in a 3yo+ NR up to 75 on February 6 at $16. Go well again.
