Albion Park Race 10

Pryde's Easifeed Trotting Feature

Prize Money: $26,000

ALDEBARANSTILINSKI (4) has made mistakes but still managed to get into the first four in both appearances since he led for an easy win at this circuit and distance last month. Has been back to the trials since last week's outing. Can win this if he get it right. NOT AS PROMISED (3) has had eight weeks off since breaking last start but was kept up to the mark with a trial. Had recorded a win over this distance along with two placings in his previous three outings. Has an impressive strike rate over the 2138m here. He'll be tough to stop with his A-game. Manners let IKIGAI (6) down last week but she had won three in a row here prior so is worth another chance. SHEZA CHANCE (2) could be close to a win following back-to-back seconds here, coming from this barrier to chase Inter Dominion favourite Gus last week. Respect.

Solid run when a close second behind Golden Sunset at this track over 2138m in a 4yo+ on June 6 at $6. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second after showing early speed, behind Gus at this track over 2138m on June 19 at $34. Draws well and is working up to a win.

Last start was well beaten into seventh behind Aldebaranstilinski at this track over 1660m in a 4yo+ on May 2 at $2.90. Raced better the start before that with a solid effort when 2nd (Fr4) over 1660m after being wide early at this track beaten 2.25 m by Mufasa Metro (1:57.70) in 4yo+ on April 4 at $1.60. Big chance with his A-game.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing fourth behind Ikigai at this track over 1660m in a 4yo+ on May 30 at $1.40. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Gus at this track over 2138m on June 19 at $9.50. Nice effort last time. Top chance with manners.

Broke last start; was well beaten after breaking at this track on June 19. Showed ability the race before when she won by 4 m as favourite (Fr7) at this track (2:36.00) beating Nellie Joy in 3yo+ on June 9 at $1.55. Can bounce back.
