Albion Park Race 3

Racing & Sports.com Divided Open Pace

Prize Money: $21,378

Champion pacer LEAP TO FAME (11) returns from a setback that derailed his New Zealand Cup and Inter Dominion bids but showed he was back on track with a trial win. Has won his last seven outings and owns a phenomenal record at this circuit. He should be beating these if anywhere near his best. CAPTAIN SHUFFLES (7) is hard to knock having won his last three outings at this venue. Draws wider and faces the most formidable of opponents but does have the fitness edge. BRAEDOS LAD (5) is going well having recorded two successive placings behind CAPTAIN SHUFFLES. Can be competitive. TIMS A TROOPER (8) is worth some thought for the exotics.

Began his campaign last start running 7th (Fr1) over 1660m at this track beaten 10 m by Calling Buddy (1:56.50) in No NR on January 11 at $126. Not keen on his chances in this line-up.

Didn't do much last time out, 5th (Fr3) over 1660m at this track, beaten 8 m by Calling Buddy (1:56.50) in No NR on January 11 at $31. Before that was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr7) over 1660m at this track, beaten 30 m by Duke Of Scotland (1:52.50) in No NR on December 28 at $101. This will fully test.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Captain Shuffles at this track over 1660m in a No NR on December 21 at $13. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Captain Shuffles at this track over 2138m in a No NR on January 11 at $6. Go well.

Resuming after 12 weeks off the scene. Finished off last preparation winning by 7 m as favourite (Fr7) at Menangle (2:40.00) beating Max Delight in LR No NR on October 26 at $1.20 at the bell was leading 11.21. Previous preparation first-up won by 11 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr6) at this track (2:27.80) beating Northview Hustler in No NR on September 28 at $1.04. Champion returning from a setback but should be too good for these.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
