Albion Park Race 7 - Happy Birthday Jennifer Trotters Mbl
GOLDEN SUNSET (1) made an impressive return when coming from a 30m handicap to get home narrowly here last week. Should enjoy a cosy run from the ace draw and with added fitness under the belt can make it two on the bounce. PINNIE (2) was fourth behind GOLDEN SUNSET as favourite last week but won two in a row prior, coming from wider to cruise home here prior. Draws well so worth another chance. KEAYANG STUKA (5) has joined Shane Graham since last seen finishing midfield in the Inter Dominion Final. Accomplished pacer who generally comes to hand very quickly, with four wins from five first-up appearances. Draws widest but has trialled and won his lone try at this distance. SHEZA CHANCE (4) steps up in grade but deserves some respect off back-to-back wins.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start won by 2.25 m as favourite (Sr2) at this track (2:35.80) beating Darcys Fireball in on September 1 at $3.40 at the bell was leading 4.12. Hard to leave out on current form. Tougher here but winning form deserves some respect.

Resuming after a spell of 11 weeks. Finished off last preparation when well beaten into seventh behind Gus at this track over 2680m on July 18 at $51.

Has a strong first-up record with four wins to his name and is expected to measure up.
