Albion Park Race 5

I H Capital Trotters Rating Handicap

Prize Money: $9,120

INSTANT DELIGHT (5) was a winner in this grade here four back and was good again last time, working but fighting well for a 1.5m second. Goes back another 20m in the handicap but is good enough to overcome that. IGNITE (8) is another that cops a tougher handicap than last time but there was plenty to like about that performance when he led and held off Instant Delight off for a nice win. Could deliver again. An early break proved costly for VOLTAIN (2) last time but she has claims off a placing from this mark two back. ASPIRING VICTREE (1) will be fitter for a resuming second and is lightly-raced with upside.

Last start broke was well beaten into tenth behind Ignite at this track over 2138m in a 3yo+ NR up to 55 on April 1 at $5. Raced better the start before that with a solid effort when 3rd (20m Fr2) over 2138m at this track was 2nd-4.2m 2WNC at the bell, beaten 6 m by Tumult (2:45.20) in 3yo+ NR up to 55 on March 25 at $8. Rates highly. Can bounce back to form.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing fourth behind Darcys Fireball at this track over 2138m in a NR 50 to 70 on March 14 at $6. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Ignite at this track over 2138m in a 3yo+ NR up to 55 on April 1 at $2.60. Top chance.
