Albion Park Race 12

Marburg Pub

Stake: $2,640

PATONGA DAVE (1) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage 1.75 lengths away in third (20.38). Racing well and deserves a win. HAUNTED TOWN (5) comes off an average run last start when seventh at this track over 395m behind Hara's Boots (24.35) in a Mix 5. Was in the money the start prior. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. VELOCITY PHOEBE (8) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (19.51) at this track behind Hidden Gold in a Mix 5. Can feature again. ADD TO CART (2) gets a chance to redeem an unplaced effort here last start.
