Albion Park Race 7

Garrards Horse & Hound Mares Band 5 Pace

Prize Money: $14,980

WINDY HILL TARA (3) only beat a couple home in her first outing for the new yard but came from a wide barrier so was far from disgraced. Well-performed mare who is better served by tonight's draw and finds a more suitable assignment. CHEER LEADER (5) continues to race well having added to a string of top-four finishes when placed last week. Yet to win over this longer distance but can be involved again. AURORA JOY (1) has been drawn wide in her last two outings but will appreciate the ace draw having finished runner-up from there three back. IMA QUEEN BEE (7) draws wide but has been racing well including a win here two back. SWEET ADDITION NZ (2) was beaten less than 4m from a wide draw last time. This barrier suits better.

Last start was well beaten into sixth after being driven well back, behind Soap Opera at this track over 1660m in a B 5 No NR M on September 27 at $13. Raced better the start before that with a solid effort when 3rd (Sr1) over 1730m at Bathurst was 3rd-9.38 at the bell, beaten a head by Saint Veran (2:01.70) in NR up to 90 on September 3 at $11. Well performed are who is better served by this draw.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind La Derniere at this track over 1660m in a B 5 No NR M on September 20 at $2.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Soap Opera at this track over 1660m in a B 5 No NR M on September 27 at $4.20. Going along well. Close to a win.

Last start 4th (Sr2) over 1660m at this track, beaten 8 m by Soap Opera (1:56.10) in B 5 No NR M on September 27 at $3.50. Two runs back won by 2.75 m (Fr2) at this track (1:54.70) beating Sky Fawkes in No NR M on September 20 at $3.70. Tricky draw but she is going well.
