Albion Park Race 2

Nutrien Equine Trotters Mobile

Stake: $9,900

Former Kiwi FIVE OCLOCK GERRY (3) looks ready to strike having kicked off in Brisbane with back-to-back placings before working hard but boxing on for fourth in the Jim McNeil Championship Final. Race fit now and draws well so can deliver. MY ULTIMATE EDDIE (6) did some work and broke last time so did quite well to recover and finish midfield. Capable of measuring right up to these if he gets it right. DARCYS FIREBALL (5) has been back to the trials since breaking last start and scored when resuming two back. Has won four of seven attempts here and is good enough with manners. GRACIAS (1) is racing well at this circuit and distance, scoring a win two starts ago before a commendable second last time out. No excuses from the inside draw. Something for the Multiples: GRACIAS NZ (1) FIVE OCLOCK GERRY NZ (3)
