Albion Park Race 5 - Garrards Horse & Hound Pace
ALTA SENSATION NZ (2) has been a model of consistency of late and deserved his victory last start, scoring by 4.5 metres over 1780m at Redcliffe after taking full advantage of the pole position. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a similar line up and can keep the ball rolling. DUAL CAM (1) could only manage to finish fifth at his latest appearance over 2138m at this track, a poor reflection on his short quote. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a major role. PUMPKIN PAT (8) comes right into contention after scoring last start by 9 metres at Redcliffe over 1780m. AMAMI (7) disappointed last time when seventh over 1660m at this track. Can do a lot better so worth considering.
