Albion Park Race 1 - Garrards Horse & Hound Pace
MAXO MIGHTY (6) has been impressive in coming from wide barriers to easily win his two outings at Menangle since joining Jason Grimson. Looks bound for bigger assignments over the upcoming carnival so should be too good for these. MY ULTIMATE BUDDHA (1) has come from wider barriers at his last couple but placed from this barrier three back at this circuit and distance so can be in the finish. SHES CRYSTAL NZ (8) has had nearly seven weeks off since a last-start win by a neck at this circuit and distance but draws for a trail so can be competitive. SWEET DIOR NZ (3) will enjoy this better barrier as she has been coming from the back row of late and did well to record a couple for recent placings here.

Three-year-old colt is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at Menangle both over 1609m. Last start posted a big 13 m win as favourite when quickly away, (Fr9) at Menangle (1:50.60) beating Buzz Bomb in on June 9 at $1.15 at the bell was leading 5.24. Progressive and looks very hard to stop.
