Albion Park Race 2 - Id26 Ladbrokes Inter Dominion Pacing Championship Round 2 - Heat 1 (Listed Classic)
Not much went the way of DANGEROUS (1) from the back row in round one but he gets a golden opportunity from the ace draw tonight. Had trialled impressively going into the series and if he can show the same sort of speed here he'll be be hard to catch. BAY OF BISCAY (11) finished strongly for a nice win in the first round of heats last week, taking his record at this distance to three wins and a placing from four tries. Tougher task from the back row but he did come from there to score in Victoria three back. FIGHTER COMMAND (2) did a great job to come from the back row and win when resuming last week, his fifth success from six attempts at this distance range. Has won three of five when second-up so should be improved and a good draw could see him strike again. NYACK (4) got within 2.2m of Leap To Fame when runner-up last week and draws closer to the pegs so could go one better. Tricky draw for WAR DAN BUDDY (10) but he possesses a strong sprint so watch for him late.

Last start 8th (Sr1) over 2138m at this track, beaten 12 m by Leap To Fame (2:28.30) in LR on July 4 at $15. Before that, 4th (Sr1) over 2240m at Melton was 4th-7.74 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Oliver Dan (2:39.30) on June 6 at $8.50. Well served by the ace draw and looks tough to stop from there.

Won by 4.5 m (Sr4) at this track (2:29.90) beating War Dan Buddy in LR on July 4 at $8.50. Two runs back 5th (Fr5) over 2240m after showing early pace at Melton beaten 6 m by War Dan Buddy (2:38.40) in 4-5yo LR on May 2 at $3.50. Big effort to win from the back row and a low draw could see him strike again.

Didn't do much at the last run, 11th (Sr3) over 2138m at this track, beaten 16 m by Fighter Command (2:29.90) in LR on July 4 at $151. Before that 9th (FT Fr5) over 2613m at Redcliffe, beaten 35 m by Final Deadline (3:08.80) in G2 on June 20 at $101. Would need to improve a lot.

Strong performance when a close second after a quick start, behind Don Hugo at Menangle over 1609m on June 20 at $5. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Leap To Fame at this track over 2138m in a LR on July 4 at $51. Very good last week and draws lower so can be right in the thick of things.

Last start 3rd (Fr3) over 2138m after showing early speed at this track beaten 6 m by Leap To Fame (2:28.30) in LR on July 4 at $81. Two runs back was driven from back in the field when 4th (Fr7) over 1660m at this track beaten 8 m by Marketplace (1:55.70) in 4yo+ on June 27 at $41. Solid last week but draws wider so looking elsewhere.

Seven-year-old gelding who has plenty of ability. Last start was 7th (Fr2) over 2138m at this track, beaten 12 m by Leap To Fame (2:28.30) in LR on July 4 at $15. Draws for a trail and could get into the finish.

Solid run when beaten by 2 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Bay Of Biscay at Maryborough over 2690m on May 31 at $1.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Fighter Command at this track over 2138m in a LR on July 4 at $3.70. Tougher draw but has been consistent so can give a good account.

Going well. Last start won by a head as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr2) at this track (2:30.00) beating Minos in LR on July 4 at $1.80. Tougher draw but with even luck can continue the good form.
