Albion Park Race 5

2024 Somerset Farms Christmas Cup

Prize Money: $26,578

HOT AND TREACHEROUS (3) drew wide and faded after working last start but will relish the lower draw having led from one spot wider to kick off his campaign with a win here two back. Usually races well third-up so should be close to his peak. ALWAYS SMOKIN (5) worked from this draw when he placed behind Hot And Treacherous two back then scored well here last week, pushing to the front and going on to salute by 2.5m. Has a win and a placing from two attempts at this longer distance. Big chance again. TIMS A TROOPER (2) looks close to a win after back-to-back placings and will be nearing peak fitness now. Player from the low draw. DUKE OF SCOTLAND (9) is up in grade and draws on the back row again but is a progressive pacer who has put three wins together. Could take the next step.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr6) over 2138m at this track was 9th-15.2m on the pegs at the bell, beaten 12 m by Blacksadance (2:30.40) in G2 No NR on November 9 at $101. At the run before 7th (Fr1) over 2300m after showing early speed at Menangle, beaten 30 m by Leap To Fame (2:40.00) in LR No NR on October 26 at $41. Certainly worth another chance from this draw.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Always Smokin at this track over 1660m in a No NR on November 30 at $3.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.75 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Mr Mclaren at this track over 2138m in a No NR on December 7 at $15. Working up to a win.

Failed to impress last start; was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr7) over 2138m at this track, beaten 21 m by Mr Mclaren (2:30.40) in No NR on December 7 at $18. Showed ability the race before when he won by 2 m when quickly away, (Fr4) at this track (1:54.60) beating Jimartee in No NR on November 23 at $5.50. Major player from this draw.

Didn't do much last time out, 10th (Fr7) over 1660m after being wide early at this track beaten 17 m by Hiranya (1:55.70) in B 4 on December 7 at $26. Before that 4th (Sr1) over 1660m at this track, beaten 17 m by Always Smokin (1:53.70) in No NR on November 30 at $61. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

In good form last start. Won by 19 m as favourite (Sr5) at this track (2:32.20) beating Throwyaarmsaroundme in B 5 on December 7 at $1.25. Two runs back won by 18 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr1) at this track (1:53.70) beating Donegal Luther in No NR on November 23 at $1.55. Up in grade and draws on the back row but is racking up the wins and has upside.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
