Albury Race 5 - Apco West Wodonga Pace
WHERE IT BEGAN (6) settled in the leading division and finished too well to score in a 1690m race at Shepparton last start, arriving 1.2 metres ahead of his rivals at his first run back from a spell. Must raise the bar but another win is not out of the question. FLY OVER STATES (4) finished sixth last start, beaten 7 metres at Riverina Paceway over 1740m. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. ALIGHIERI (9) was responsible for a better effort last time out when third over 1740m at Riverina Paceway. Should run a big race. ALITTLEBITOFSUGA (7) disappointed last time when tenth over 1740m at Riverina Paceway. Can do a lot better so worth considering for all top 4 combos.

Last start 8th (Fr3) over 1740m at Riverina Paceway beaten 30 m by Angelic Attitude (2:04.80) on July 28 at $15. At his previous start 9th (Fr6) over 1740m after racing wide at Riverina Paceway beaten 21 m by Stay Alpha (2:04.90) on July 17 at $11. This looks a nice assignment so watch for a better run.

Last start 6th (Sr1) over 1740m at Riverina Paceway, beaten 9 m by Claudes Desire (2:05.80) on July 28 at $19.

Has the ability to figure prominently from a better draw.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr3) over 1740m at Riverina Paceway, beaten 7 m by Centrefire (2:07.30) on July 28 at $7. The start before 5th (Fr5) over 1770m after racing wide at this track, at the bell was 3rd-6 beaten 7 m by Shoobees Sunset (2:11.40) on July 21 at $7.50. This looks a nice race.
