Albion Park Race 5 - Garrards Horse & Hound Mares Open Pace
TREMENDOUS SENSATION NZ (6) should be at peak fitness after three starts off a let-up. Has placed in two those, coming from this barrier for third last week. Her strike rate at this circuit and distance stands at 50 per cent and she could be ready to return to winning form. PLATINUM JEWEL (8) beat Tremendous Sensation with a 1.7m win last week, her third success from her last five outings at this circuit and distance. Goes back to the second line tonight but should enjoy a nice trail. ZAHRA LOU (1) won from this barrier last start and races well when third-up so could go on with it. IMA QUEEN BEE (9) has trialled since she was pulled up with cardiac arrythmia last time. May need luck from this draw but was a winner at this circuit and distance two back. BEAT SWEET (4) should be improved by last week's fourth, her first outing off a lengthy spell.

Solid run when beaten by 2.75 m finishing third behind Reely Nauti at this track over 1660m in a 4yo+ No NR MANUAL PACERS M on February 14 at $7. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Post Painter at this track over 1660m in a 4yo+ No NR M on February 21 at $34. In fine form. Nicely drawn and expected to run a bold race again.

Didn't do much at the last run, was well back in the run when 5th (Fr4) over 1660m at this track beaten 10 m by Platinum Jewel (1:55.80) in 4yo+ No NR M on February 28 at $34. Before that 7th (Sr1) over 1660m at this track, beaten 12 m by Post Painter (1:54.90) in 4yo+ No NR M on February 21 at $51. Not keen.

Well beaten last start by Platinum Jewel, who she meets again; when 35 metres sixth at this track over 1660m in a 4yo+ No NR M race on February 28. May find this tough.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing sixth behind Reely Nauti at this track over 1660m in a 4yo+ No NR MANUAL PACERS M on February 14 at $6. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.75 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Platinum Jewel at this track over 1660m in a 4yo+ No NR M on February 28 at $7. With even luck she may play a role in the finish again.
