Albion Park Race 7 - Garrards Horse & Hound Pace
BLUTO NZ (7) switched back from WA and made a winning start for Jason Grimson when getting home by 1.4 metres at this circuit and distance last week. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw but only needs even luck to make it two on the trot. CALL TO ORDER (6) was very good through the Inter Dominion series, finishing just 1.4m away in his second heat before winning the consolation. Draws deeper but that form is strong. SPIRIT OF ANARCHY NZ (8) draws for a trail and deserves respect having won his two outings at this circuit and distance since switching from NSW. The best form of OUR VINCENT CAN GOGH NZ (4) measures up here.

Going okay so keep him safe.

Solid run when beaten by 1.4 m finishing second behind Bluto at this track over 2138m in a 3yo+ on July 21 at $11. Then a handy effort when a close second after being driven well back, behind Western Arterra at this track over 2138m in a 3yo+ on July 23 at $2. Rates highly. Big chance.
