Saturday night harness racing

Ten races tonight at Albion Park. Some good races on the card and hopefully we can find some value. Prefect weather most of the week and the track should be playing fair and fast tonight.

 

Race 2 HAPPY 21ST STEPHANIE GRAHAM BAND 5 PACE ; 6.13PM ; 2138M 

IM MAJOR HARRY (1) gets the ideal gate tonight to run these along and take them all the way. The camp have turned the corner and are flying and this horse is no exception. Has been good over the past couple of weeks with no luck and tonight from the good gate looks hard to beat.

COLONEL JOY (8) can get the gun run behind the likely leader and looks the clear danger to the top selection. His run last week was full of merit and with a better map tonight can be ready to strike up the sprint lane late. Big chance. 

Hard to pot the form of BIG BANG LEONARD (5) as he has been flying for a fair while now. He doesnt get any favours with the map tonight and will more than likely be forced to do the work outside the leader. For this reason and bearing in mind the form of the stable with the likely leader I am not keen on any shorts about BIG BANG LEONARD (5) tonight but he will be sure to race well. Just need a decent price to get involved.  

URBAN GIRL (4) is improving all the time. This was displayed last week when she made a mess of them. She gets no favours from the draw or map but with her speed if there is some unexpected action up front she is likely to be the one to take full advantage.

Race 6 REMEMBERING SLIPNSLIDE OPEN PACE ; 8.15PM ; 2138M  

DREAM TO SHARE (9) is deadset flying and this race sets up very well again. Looks some good tempo and he can sit back and come with one run and looks very hard to beat again. 

TENNYSON BROMAC (5) is a very classy horse and should be about ready to show his best tonight. The gate / map arent great but extra distance helps and either forward or back in the run I am happy to have something on at what should be a nice price. 

MACH ALERT (7) is actually racing very well without any luck. The smaller field does help his cause and the extra trip gives him some more time to get into the contest. At what should be a nice price he is worth something on in a race that sets up like this.

CHANGE OF MIND (4) is probably at his limit class wise in this race but he was very good last week when hitting the line hard. He has good tactical speed so he can put himself in a nice enough spot early and with a slice of luck at the back end isnt the worst here at what should also be a nice price. 

Happy to pot CASINO TOMMY (3). He has come up quite short in a early market but I am not sure were he goes from the gate. Looks set for a pretty tough trip and I am very happy to pot him tonight. GLENFERRIE HOOD (6) is also very short and I am very happy to be against him. Not sure were hes at and I do have him going back and he will struggle to get into the race from back there. Not keen at all. Play the value here.

Race 9 TAB PERSEVERENCE PACE ; 9.37PM ; 2138M 

Typically open lower class race for a Saturday night but I do think ARTFUL JINKS (11) is well placed. He has trialled well a few times of late. Went to Redcliffe and went very fast and than was pretty good against better horses last time. The extra trip suits and I think he can be very strong at the end of this one.

ROCKS OR DIAMONDS (3) is a nice enough horse who will win better races than this in time. Looks likely to be first to the fence and will run a nice race. Leading chance. 

LANCELOT BROMAC (7) has been around a million times but has always gone best for this driver. The gate is bad but the extra trip helps offset that a little. If he can get into the contest at the right time he will keep running and be very strong. Good chance tonight with a slice of luck.

DOWNTOWN LUCCA (6) was good on Wednesday night and has always gone best for this driver. Not sure were he lands and he will need alot of luck in the run but at what should be a very nice price he isnt the worst here.
