Albion Park Race 5 - Burwood Stud 2yo Pace
AARDIES A STAR NZ (7) made a nice return at his latest appearance two weeks ago, finishing 8 metres away in third over 1660m at this track. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish again. EXIT ELEVEN (6) made it two straight wins last start when he scored as the $1.55 favourite by 3 metres over 1660m at this track. Primary contender based on those recent efforts. FORGING ON (1) is a two-year-old gelding from the Grant Dixon yard on debut. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Will be right there at the business end. WALK WITH ELEGANCE (9) finished fifth last start in a Group One event over 1660m at this track, beaten 6 metres by Mullum Showgirl. A big run fresh -up is on the cards. Don't discount her chances.

Didn't do much last time out, was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr4) over 1730m at Bathurst beaten 22 m by Tango In Paris (2:04.30) in 2yo on October 9 at $23. Before that 7th (Fr1) over 1730m after showing early pace at Bathurst, beaten 30 m by Shes A Delaney (2:04.20) in 2yo on September 23 at $71. This looks out of her reach.

Two-year-old colt is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1660m. Last start won by 3 m as favourite (Fr2) at this track (1:59.40) beating Fit And Ready in 2yo on October 23 at $1.55. Sure to play a major role.

Having his second run back from a spell. Solid effort when 3rd (Fr2) over 1660m at this track, at the bell was 3rd-9.42 beaten 8 m by Bettor One (1:58.00) in 2yo on October 24 at $1.45. Rates highly and deserves another chance.
