Albion Park Race 8 - Yabby Dam Farms 1 Win Pathway Pace
Former Kiwi AARDIE'S A STAR (5) made a successful start in Queensland with a maiden win at this circuit and distance last month then was brave over further last week, working before finding the front and fighting on to be beaten a nose. Was first up for a month there so should be improved. Can atone. LOTS OF HEART (2) made an immediate impact on debut last start, scoring by 8 metres at Redcliffe. Gets the same draw and is open to natural improvement so could go on with it,. BERRYLICIOUS (6) looks to have come back in good order having scored a last-start win by close 4 metres at Redcliffe. Draws wider but has some upside. SAINT MAHARG (3) should not have any excuses from a favourable draw.

Returns to racing after a spell of two years. Well beaten at the end of his last preparation at this course and distance when at very long odds behind Sweetnspicy. Prefer to see him perform well before recommending.
