Albion Park Race 9 - Garrards Horse & Hound Pace
MEGS BOY NZ (4) was only 3.7 metres away in third when resuming. Fitter for that and owns a good record at this venue, winning four of seven attempts. Likely improver who has the talent to take this out. RIBEIRO (3) draws well and is on the radar after some nice efforts from wider barriers including his last-start fourth here a week ago, beaten only 2.4m. COPPERFIELD NZ (1) has led from this barrier and stuck on well in his last two outings at this venue. Goes up in distance this time. May give a sight again. CHEZZ DALE NZ (9) had to work from a similar barrier last time but was a winner here prior so is good enough with better luck.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4.5 m fifth behind Mister Reactor at this track over 1660m 3yo+ NR up to 70 last start. Before that was beaten a neck second again at this track in 3yo+ NR 51 to 57 on February 13. The ace draw may see him hard to beat.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Send It at this track over 2138m in a 4yo+ No NR on February 3 at $6. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Frankie Ferocious at this track over 2138m in a 4yo+ No NR on February 24 at $26. Worth including.

Seven-year-old entire showed improvement last time. Won by 1.2 m when driven back in the field, (Fr6) held up early, at this track (1:57.00) beating Mary Anne Rose in 3yo+ NR up to 70 on February 24 at $21. The race before was not as impressive when beaten by 6 m finishing fourth after being driven well back, behind Hes Sweet at Redcliffe over 1780m in a 3yo+ NR 54 to 62 on February 12 at $18. First four hope.

Last start was well back in the run when 10th (Fr7) over 2138m at this track, beaten 35 m by Sir Richard Lee (2:31.30) in NR up to 70 on February 21 at $18. At his previous start 5th (Sr2) over 1660m at this track, beaten 7 m by Chezz Dale (1:57.40) in 3yo+ NR up to 75 on February 13 at $31. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Not easy from this draw.

Failed to impress last start; 9th (Sr3) over 2138m at this track beaten 35 m by Sir Richard Lee (2:31.30) in NR up to 70 on February 21 at $4.60. Showed ability the run before when he won by a neck as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr4) at this track (1:57.40) beating Canadian Lass in 3yo+ NR up to 75 on February 13 at $1.35. With even luck he can make his presence felt.
