Albion Park Race 9

Garrards Horse & Hound Mares Open Pace

Stake: $18,810

Smart mare CHYNCHILLA (7) came from this barrier for a resuming second to an in-form rival two back then made good progress to win by 2.8m here last time. Draws out again but should have come on further and has built an impressive record here. Take beating. MIKI MAGIC (5) has had seven weeks off but her form reads well, returning to winning form at this circuit last time to add to a string of top-four finishes. Go well. THESUNANDTHEMOON (4) has come from wider barriers and hasn't been far away in her two outings since winning here. Respect. Last-start placegetter SWEET AGENDA (3) draws to play a role again. Something for the Multiples: CHYNCHILLA NZ (7) AURORA JOY (2)

Been racing well and showed plenty of improvement following March 22 run. Last start won by 1.75 m when quickly away, (Fr2) at this track (1:57.90) beating Miss Froufrou in B 5 No NR M on March 29 at $6. This race will be harder than that win. Faces a tough test.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr7) over 1660m at this track beaten 10 m by Rylee Rhayne Bow (1:56.00) in No NR M on March 29 at $19. Two runs back won by a neck as favourite when driven back in the field, (Fr7) held up early, at this track (1:56.50) beating Vindicate in B 5 No NR M on March 22 at $2.80. Will not find this easy. Not keen.
