Albion Park Race 9

Leading Edge Security Up To Nr60 Trotters Mbl

Prize Money: $6,380

INSTANT DELIGHT NZ (6) showed plenty of fight to score last time out at this track, racing parked from a similar barrier before getting home by 1.2 metres. Tackles a similar assignment so can salute again. CASCATA (1) comes here just three days after leading to score by 1.5 metres at this venue. That victory meant she has won the last two times she has raced over this distance. Up in grade but has the speed to take advantage of the ace draw. DAIMYO (5) is looming as a real threat after progressing off a resuming fourth for second to Instant Delight last week. With further improvement he could turn the tables. WHIRLWIND WILBUR (7) draws wide but must be considered after he came from a 50m handicap to finish runner-up at this circuit and distance last start.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after a quick start, behind Cascata at this track over 2138m in a 3yo+ on June 2 at $2.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.2 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Instant Delight at this track over 1660m in a 3yo+ on June 11 at $7. Working towards a win and should be close to peak fitness.

Two back was well beaten into eighth after being driven well back, behind Doolittle Doozzie at Redcliffe over 2040m in a 3yo+ on May 29 at $16. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Fredidrivsamercury at this track over 2138m in a 3yo+ on June 9 at $17. One of the key runners.
