Albion Park Race 8

Gorski Hardox Tough Tippers

Prize Money: $3,800

HOPE'S ZONE (1) hit the frame latest (19.03) when second at this track in a OPEN. Rates on top and should go close. SCRUB'S ROCKET (4) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (19.03) last time out at this track. Has a good record at this journey. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Can feature again. HOWDY LANA (2) missed the frame latest (19.35) when fifth over 331m at this track in a OPEN. Has already won two times from this draw. Can feature with the right run. LENNY'S HONEY (8) is always a threat when she races at this track and distance.

Was in the placings last time but prior to that was an easy winner scoring by 6 lengths in a OPEN at this track and clocking an outstanding 18.83 for the 331m trip. Expected to push the clock again here.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (19.35) in a OPEN, finishing a 9 length fifth. Goes very well off the draw boasting two wins and two places from five starts. Has ability and should feature.
