Albion Park Race 6 - Stu Valentine For Bloodstock Insurance Pace
CONGO LINE (7) turned in a good effort to beat some handy rivals at his latest run, getting home by a narrow margin at this circuit and distance. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw but with even luck he can continue his fine form. TEN DA TOUCH NZ (5) backs up after a decent effort to finish midfield here on Saturday. He finds a winnable assignment. OUR SUNSET DELIGHT (8) galloped out from the standing start last time so is better off behind the mobile. Shouldn't spend a penny from this draw so is worth another chance. HELL IM SMOOTH (1) has come from the back line at his last couple but won the last time he started on the front row so is well served by the ace draw.
