Albion Park Race 4

Somerset Farms 3yo 1 To 2 Season Wins Pathway Pace

Prize Money: $9,120

BENNYDASOOK (4) is going well having won two of his last three starts, both times coming from wider barriers than this. Had enough speed to cross to the lead and score by 1.4m at this circuit and distance last month. Big chance. SITTING ON EIGHT (7) has to come into calculations on the back of some solid recent form, finishing close to the placings in all four outings since recording back-to-back wins here. Draws wide but is good enough to measure up in this line-up. MISTER SEASIDE (6) made an encouraging return in coming from this barrier and finishing runner-up here last time out. Proven second-up so can progress. ROCKY WINE (2) draws to be competitive.

Last start 4th (Fr1) over 2138m after showing early speed at this track beaten 8 m by All Over It (2:29.90) in 3yo on July 10 at $9. Before that, 4th (Fr5) over 2138m after showing early speed and racing wide at this track, beaten 25 m by Berocca Bernie (2:30.80) on July 2 at $10. With even luck from a wide draw he can be right in the finish.
