Albion Park Race 3 - Id26 Ladbrokes Inter Dominion Trotting Championship Round 2 - Heat 1 (Listed Classic)
GUS NZ (4) has delivered easily in his two starts at this circuit and distance since a spell, working in the middle stages in the first round of heats last week before finding the front and going on to score by 5.6m. Has has won four of six third-up attempts so should only be further improved. The one to beat. Last year's champion ARCEE PHOENIX (2) looks to be getting back to his best at the right time. Drew wider than this and worked when parked last week but stuck on well to place. Built through each round of last year's series and could do it again. GOTFEELINGSYOUKNOW (1) took advantage of this draw and used the sprint lane for a dead heat win last week. This race could pan out in a similar fashion so he can be competitive again. ROCKINWITHATTITUDE (10) shared the spoils with GOTFEELINGSYOUKNOW last week, her fourth win in seven tries here. Tricky draw this time but she has put together a string of wins and placings so respect. PARISIAN ARTISTE (3) draws well and may improve second up.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4 m third behind Gotfeelingsyouknow at this track over 2138m LR last start. Before that was beaten 1.5 metres third at Melton over 2240m in on June 20. Last year's champion who is building into his campaign nicely.

Last start 4th (Fr5) over 2138m at this track, beaten 14 m by Gus (2:34.40) in LR on July 4 at $19. Two runs back 7th (Fr7) over 1980m at Addington beaten 24 m by Gus (2:24.10) on November 14 at $67.30. Fitter and draws well so could play a role.

Seven-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 2138m. Last start posted a big 5.5 m win as favourite (Fr2) at this track (2:34.40) beating Im Bobby in LR on July 4 at $1.45. All class and should be close to his peak so is clearly the one to beat.

Didn't do much at the last run, was well back in the run when 11th (Fr4) over 2138m after being wide early at this track, well beaten by Gotfeelingsyouknow (2:36.00) in LR on July 4 at $126. Before that 5th (20m Fr1) over 2138m at this track, beaten 45 m by Golden Sunset (2:41.70) in 4yo+ on June 6 at $12. Cannot enthuse on what we have seen of late.
