Albion Park Race 9 - R1 Syndications Mares Band 5 Pace
TOUGH SHAZ (1) has been racing well from wider barriers, winning here two back then drawing deepest and working before finding the front and boxing on for fourth last week. Goes well at this longer distance and the ace draw can see her back in the winners' list. HELL OF A HAND (2) looks close to a win after back-to-back placings here, last week coming from wider and finishing 3.4 metres from the winner in third. Likely to get the favours from this nice draw so could break through. CHEER LEADER (5) didn't do a bad job when fifth from this barrier last time out and should be reaching peak fitness fourth up. OHANA DANCER (4) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish second at this venue.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Sensationalize at this track over 1660m in a 4yo+ B 5 NR 55 or better M on April 4 at $18. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Tilly Jayne at this track over 1660m in a 4yo+ B 5 NR 55 or better M on April 11 at $12. Could be there at the business end.
