Albion Park Race 3

Selective Motors Albion Nr70-99 Veterans Pace

Stake: $10,260

ALBY TWO CHAINS (4) hit his peak and found winning form at this circuit and distance then jumped up in journey and finished third in a richer race last start. Should enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position and looks ideally placed. TIGER BAND WAGON (6) pushed forward to lead last start and stuck on okay. This should be an easier assignment so he can play a role. LAST TIME JOE (2) has been coming from wider barriers of late but missed narrowly the last time he started from this draw. CARDLESFROMHEAVEN (3) is worth including with the aid of good draw.

Last start was well beaten into third behind Captain Hammerhead at this track over 2680m in a No NR on December 6 at $4.60. Raced better the start before that where he won by 15 m when driven back in the field, (Fr5) held up early, at this track (1:54.10) beating Don Lou in No NR on November 29 at $5. Starts from a good draw and looks well placed.
