Albion Park Race 9

Burwood Stud 2Yo Open Pace

Prize Money: $11,500

JUST A COOL DUDE (3) made a winning start to his career nine days ago, coming from this barrier and getting home by a head at this circuit and distance. Hails from a leading yard and is open to natural improvement so could take the next step. TAKING A PUNT (7) has been racing well and deserved his victory last time out, scoring by a head at this venue after making the most of the pole position. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a much wider starting position but is ticking along well. BASILISK BOB (2) was a fresh winner from this barrier here last month and could be close to another success after placing in his last two outings. VICTREE CHARLIE (6) has trialled twice since breaking last time. Chance with manners.
