Albion Park Race 4

Garrards Horse & Hound Pace

Prize Money: $10,620

FIRE AND PASSION (6) was beaten into second as a hot favourite last week but he had to do plenty of work before finishing 3.5m off the winner. Same wide draw again but looks very well placed so only needs a little better luck to win this. CHARGE AHEAD (4) drew on the back line and was held up at a vital stage when beaten only 2.5 metres last time. Came from only one spot lower than this when he won here last month. He is capable of a bold performance. O B LEGAL NZ (3) draws well and can feature again after finishing third at Redcliffe last time out. FIRE RAISER (7) blew his chances with an early break last time but was consistent prior so is worth including.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following October 10 run. Just managed to hang on and win won by a head (Sr4) at this track (2:33.60) beating Racana in 3yo+ on October 13 at $17 at the bell was leading 13.78. This race will be harder than that win. Facing a more testing assignment but aided by the draw.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing sixth after showing early speed, behind Ruggards Gee Tee at this track over 1660m in a 3yo on August 29 at $1.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second behind Williams at this track over 2138m in a 3yo+ on October 13 at $1.40. Looks very well placed and hard to stop.

Comes here second-up after a week. Lacklustre first-up performance when was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr5) over 2138m at this track, at the bell was 6th-8.98 beaten 17 m by Williams (2:34.80) in 3yo+ on October 13 at $71. Improvement needed.

Failed to impress last start; was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr5) over 1660m after being wide early at this track was 5th-9.12 at the bell, beaten 8 m by Amami (1:56.50) in 3yo+ on October 6 at $4.80. Showed ability the race before when he posted a big 3.5 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr2) at this track (2:34.00) beating Quik Change in 4yo+ on October 3 at $2 at the bell was leading 0.83. Go well.
