Albion Park Race 3

Leading Edge Security Pacers Band Handicap

Prize Money: $9,120

FINAL DEADLINE NZ (4) resumes after doing a great job for second in three feature races at Menangle over the Sydney carnival including the Chariots of Fire and the Light Horse FFA where he missed narrowly. Has won six of nine here and will be ready to go off two trials, winning the latest. JUNGLE DRAGON (2) hasn't raced since the Breeders Challenge Final at Menangle last October but owns an impressive strike rate. Readied with two trials, winning the latest and he goes very well fresh with two wins and a placing from three attempts. GEM PUNTER PETE (1) hasn't been too far away of late including a nose second from this mark last month. Can be competitive along with OUR SUNSET DELIGHT (5) who should be at his peak after placing in all three starts off a spell.

Resuming after a spell of ten weeks. Finished off last campaign when a close second behind Hi Manameisjeff at Menangle over 1609m in a G2 on March 14 at $21. Previous preparation first-up won by 6 m as favourite (FT Fr2) at this track (2:35.00) beating Send It in 4yo+ on January 13 at $1.12. Highly talented and finds a nice race to kick off.

Fair performance when beaten by 5 m finishing second behind Fernco Nel at this track over 2138m in a 4yo+ on May 5 at $15. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.2 m finishing third behind Send It at this track over 2138m in a 4yo+ on May 12 at $7. Go well again.
