Albion Park Race 2

Garrard's Horse And Hound Maiden H

Prize Money: $3,000

HOLD THE GAVEL (1) flew the lids from the middle with a sensational turn of foot before finishing second (25.17) and beaten 1.75 lengths over 431m at Ipswich. The form from her last run stacks up well. Rates highly and will give a great sight. HOLLY MAGIC (7) is overdue for a win after recording back to back placings, the latest jumping from this same box when a 2.75 lengths second (18.03) in a Maiden at Coonamble. Harder here but will be in this for a long way. BALLINGER BEACH (2) did well on debut March 26 at this track over 395m (23.53) when jumping from a wide box. Expected to be in the finish again. FINAL SHOT (4) makes debut for the Terrence Medcalf kennel. No favours with the draw and will need to begin well. Profiles well so pay to keep very safe.

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a sensational early split, giving a sight but fading late to finish second (25.17) at Ipswich over 431m. Safe beginner and drawn to feature off the inside rail.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 395m at this track. Hard to recommend this time.

Has been in the money the last two runs. Finished second at Coonamble in 18.03 last time but the start prior clocked a fast 17.72 over 305m finishing second at Coonamble. Has the ability and looks a key chance.

Missed the frame latest (31.64) when seventh over 520m at this track in a Maiden. Starts from box 8 for the first time here. Tough line-up and places prospects appear best.
