Albion Park Race 1 - Somerset Farms 3yo Up To Nr60 Pace
FRANCO NOT OUT NZ (2) is back from a break of 11 weeks and looks to be right up to the mark following a placing in a recent trial. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw and looks well-placed to take this out. RUGGARDS GEE TEE (4) produced another strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1660m at this track. This should be an easier assignment so he is sure to prove tough to beat. MISTER SEASIDE (5) is the next best after finishing runner-up over 2280m at Redcliffe last time out, while SURREAL MORAN NZ (3) is also worth some thought after his last-start fifth over 1660m at this track on August 8.

Last start 8th (Fr6) over 1660m at this track well beaten by Ideal Bronski (1:55.50) in 3yo on August 8 at $21. Two runs back won by a neck as favourite (Fr5) at this track (1:58.50) beating Fight For Victory in 3yo on July 28 at $1.10. Not keen on her chances in this field.
