Albany Race 2

The Races Wa (Bm70+)

Prize Money: AUD $24,000

RUSSIAN SNIPER (3) is in a leading metro barn and wasn't far away at Ascot before the narrow defeat here. 2x winning rider CJP goes aboard today for the apprentice. Has been kept on the fresh side and can go one better. OXBRIDGE (1) just missed the hat-trick here on the same day. He keeps a handy 2kg claim and will control the race. Is sure to give a sight. MORGS FREEMAN (2) has been busting to win and also rates well. The 3kg claim brings him right into it. NOTEWORTHY (6) resumes and is good enough. May find this a bit short but needs to be kept safe.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 4th of 7 at this track Rtg 70+ on April 11 over 1100m, on a slow track; 0.9 len behind Storm Commander with 60.5kg at $3.30. The race before that favourite; won by 3 len at this track Rtg 70+ March 10 over 1100m defeating Sky Duke carrying 58.5kg at $2.50. Definite winning hope.
