Albion Park Race 8 - Garrards Horse & Hound Pace
MY ULTIMATE VICTOR (1) deserved his success last start when he led from this barrier and kept going, scoring by a neck at Redcliffe. That was in a higher-graded race than this so he could be tough to catch again. IDEAL DESIRE (8) scored at her most recent outing by 4.5 metres in a good performance at this circuit and distance. Shouldn't spend a penny from this draw and the sprint lane may come in handy. Another win is not out of the question. MAN OF ACTION NZ (9) is another last-start winner, coming from this same barrier to score by a head at this circuit and distance. Player. JUSTROLLINGAROUND (2) has been competitive of late and should get every chance from a favourable draw.

Going well. Last start won by a neck as favourite when quickly away, (Fr1) at Redcliffe (2:30.10) beating Barrett in 3yo+ NR 48 to 55 on February 19 at $3. The ace draw could see him hard to beat.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing fourth after being driven well back, behind Boston Bronski at this track over 1660m in a 3yo+ NR 43 to 50 on February 10 at $11. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Hatties Jewel at this track over 2138m in a 3yo+ NR 43 to 48 on February 17 at $3.90. Solid top-three prospects.
