Albion Park Race 3 - Garrards Horse & Hound Mares Open Pace
LUX AETERNA (2) heads north after tackling strong company so far this campaign, last seen in the Newcastle Mile after a midfield finish in the Group 1 Queen of the Pacific at Melton. Quality mare who is proven at this circuit and distance and should get every chance from the low draw. Hard to knock the form of POST PAINTER NZ (3) having won five of her last six outings here. Has been coming from wider or second row draws so should get every chance from the more favourable barrier. PLATINUM JEWEL (1) gets the ace draw and is in fine form having won her last two attempts at this circuit and distance, the latest from the back row. Respect. TREMENDOUS SENSATION NZ (10) has been ticking along well without winning. Draws wide on the second line but her best form would measure up.

Five-year-old mare is racing in fine form. Won her last two outings at this track both over 1660m. Last start won by a head (Sr1) at this track (1:57.10) beating Zahra Lou in 4yo+ No NR MANUAL PACERS M on March 7 at $4. The ace draw gives her a chance to land the hat trick.

Recent efforts haven't been up to her best. Last start 6th (Fr2) over 1609m at Newcastle beaten 16 m by Bulletproof Boy (1:50.50) in G2 No NR on February 27 at $51. The run before 5th (Sr1) over 2760m at Melton, beaten 35 m by Captains Mistress (3:15.90) in G1 No NR M on February 14 at $51. Quality mare who is better placed and well served by the low draw.

Five-year-old mare is racing in fine form. Won her last two outings at this track. Last start won by 4 m as favourite (Sr3) at this track (1:54.90) beating Platinum Jewel in 4yo+ No NR M on February 21 at $2. In terrific form and from a favourable draw looks tough to beat.

Didn't do much last start, 5th (Fr3) over 1660m at this track beaten 5 m by Platinum Jewel (1:57.10) in 4yo+ No NR MANUAL PACERS M on March 7 at $51. Before that was driven from back in the field 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. This looks far too tough.

Is on a seven-day back-up and has been racing consistently with 5 consecutive minor placings. Strong performance last time out 3rd (Fr2) over 1660m at this track beaten 2.5 m by Platinum Jewel (1:57.10) in 4yo+ No NR MANUAL PACERS M on March 7 at $10. Racing consistently but this looks a tough task.
