Albion Park Race 2

Somerset Farms 1 Win Pace

Prize Money: $6,260

SKIP TO ME LOU (4) missed narrowly fresh then raced parked but stuck on okay for fourth last start, beaten 5.5 metres at this circuit and distance. Reaching peak fitness third up so looks hard to beat. ROCKY WINE (7) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when she came from the back row for third at this venue. Must overcome a very wide draw but is a player with even luck. CLAUDES DESIRE (3) switches from NSW to the Graham Dwyer yard. Draws well and could measure up. READY TO DREAM NZ (6) is in the mix after turning in a better effort for second here last week.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind Centrefire at Canberra over 1770m in a 3yo+ on September 13 at $3.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Blackjack at this track over 2138m on October 9 at $41. Expected to go well again.

Good performance when beaten by 4 m finishing fourth after being driven well back, behind Atula at this track over 1660m on September 25 at $12. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Our Sweet Jess at this track over 1660m in a 3yo+ on September 29 at $11. Draws wide but with luck she is a player.
