Albion Park Race 8 - Benstud Standardbreds Trotters Discretionary Hcp

INSTANT DELIGHT NZ (1) filled a minor placing at Marburg two runs ago before finishing second at her latest appearance over 2138m at this track, beaten 18 metres. Meets a comparable field and she can find winning ways. LEAF STRIDE NZ (4) drew a wide gate last start and was safely held, beaten 55 metres into seventh at this track over 2138m. Primary contender from this favourable draw if things fall his way. WHIRLWIND WILBUR (6) must be considered after he finished third over 2138m at this track six days ago. DAIMYO (3) finished out of the money two runs ago then broke and finished fifth last start over 2550m at Marburg, coming home 11 metres from the winner. Finds a nice race and can make up for that last start mishap.

Last start was well beaten into second behind Love Gun at this track over 2138m on October 27 at $6. Raced better the start before that with a game effort when 2nd (10m) over 2550m at Marburg, at the bell was 2nd-3.46 beaten 1.2 m by Whirlwind Wilbur (3:18.90) on October 18 at $4.80. Has been racing well and is sure to prove tough to beat.
