Albion Park Race 10 - Burwood Stud 2yo Open Pace
AARDIES A STAR NZ (2) makes his first appearance since he was midfield from the back row in July's Protostar. Won from a wider barrier at this circuit and distance the last time he started outside of Group company. Readied with a trial win and should get his chance from the low draw. BETTOR ONE (4) continued a string of top-three results from last campaign when he came from wider for second when at this circuit and distance last week. That was his first appearance for more than three months and he won his lone second-up attempt so should be improved. He is a threat as is BLACKJACK SAM (5) who is hard to knock having recorded two wins and a very close second from this barrier in his last three attempts at this circuit and distance. HARRY THE HAT (6) draws wider but is worth including off a last-start win here.

Comes here in the right form. Won by a nose after showing early speed, (Fr3) at this track (2:02.70) beating Blackjack Sam in 2yo on October 9 at $8 at the bell was leading 1.35. Two runs back posted a big 11 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr3) at Redcliffe (2:11.20) beating Major Ciara in 2yo on June 24 at $1.50 at the bell was leading 1.9m on the pegs. Led to win when fresh last start so may give a sight from this draw.

Resuming after a spell of three-and-a-half months. Finished off last campaign when beaten by 6 m finishing sixth behind Havtimemajor at this track over 1660m in a 2yo G1 on July 11 at $151. Readied with a trial win and draws well so can make a winning return.

Fair run when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Prince Naseem at this track over 1660m in a 2yo on September 5 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Prince Naseem at this track over 1660m on September 18 at $17. One of the exotic chances.

Carried through his consistent form from last preparation when first-up last start. Returned to racing with a game effort despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr6) over 1660m at this track, at the bell was 2nd-12.53 beaten 5.5 m by Blackjack Sam (1:57.90) in 2yo on October 17 at $2. Fitter so another big run is on the cards.

Last start won by 5.5 m when quickly away, (Fr3) at this track (1:57.90) beating Bettor One in 2yo on October 17 at $2.80 at the bell was leading 2.96. In fine form and looks a player again.
