Albion Park Race 4

Somerset Farms Pace

Prize Money: $10,500

OUR ROCKY (7) won three in a row at this circuit and distance before stepping up in trip and fighting well to go under narrowly last time. Draws wide but is suited back to a distance where he strikes at 50 per cent. SINABUN (5) has not raced for seven months but looks forward enough for the return after three trials, winning the latest. Well-placed to take this out. CHARGE AHEAD (2) gets his best draw since he scored here three back and his outings since have had merit. Contender as is DRAGON (6) who backs up after he continued his good form with a second here on Saturday.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Always B Cool at this track over 2138m in a 4yo+ on October 17 at $23. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing second behind Greased Lightnin at this track over 1660m in a 4yo+ on October 24 at $5. Form sound and expected to measure up.
