Albion Park Race 10

Garrards Horse & Hound Mares Open Pace

Prize Money: $16,000

TREMENDOUS SENSATION NZ (6) had to work to find the front from a wide draw last week so was far from disgraced in boxing on to finish midfield. That was her third start off a let-up so she should be peaking and she owns an impressive strike rate at this circuit and distance. SOAP OPERA (1) drew on the back row last time and wasn't too far away. Managed to come from a wide barrier and win at this circuit and distance prior and should get the favours from the ace draw. REELY NAUTI (2) was rewarded for her consistency when she led from this barrier and kept going to score last start. Can give a sight again. PLATINUM JEWEL (3) recently landed back-to-back wins at this circuit and distance and could be ready to score again after coming from wider for second last week. BEAT SWEET (5) is first up for Sydney trainer Luke McCarthy and has built a good record in Victoria and Tasmania. Market watch.

Fair last start; 6th (Sr1) over 1660m at this track, beaten 7 m by Reely Nauti (1:56.40) in 4yo+ No NR MANUAL PACERS M on February 14 at $6. Showed ability the race before when she won by a head when driven back in the field, (Fr6) held up early, at this track (1:57.90) beating Sergios Rocket in 4yo+ No NR M on February 7 at $9. Major player from the ace draw.

Last start 7th (Sr1) over 1660m at this track beaten 12 m by Post Painter (1:54.90) in 4yo+ No NR M on February 21 at $51.

Not keen on her chances in this line-up.
