Albion Park Race 3 - Leading Edge Security Band 5 Pace
BELLISSIMO ACQUISTO NZ (4) has been good from the back row in his two starts here since joining Matt Elkins for this campaign, placing fresh before working to the front for a 3m win last time. Can push forward again from this barrier and with further progression likely he could go back to back. HUXTON NZ (3) is going well and added to a string of wins and placings when he led from this barrier and dug deep to get home at this circuit and distance last week. Big chance again. SIR RICHARD LEE (2) added to his consistent form when fourth from the back row last week. Draws for another good showing. WE ALWAYS HAVE FAITH NZ (1) came from much wider to place last time and should enjoy the favours from the ace draw.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind Final Deadline at this track over 2138m in a 4yo+ B 5 NR 55 or better on February 14 at $19.
