Albany Race 3 - Paul Hunter Racing Mdn
PINCER MOVEMENT (5) looks primed for a good run on debut following a nice trial with Pike in the saddle for his last two outings. Pike comes down to ride for the Grantham barn and the draw makes things easier for him. Both siblings are winners and he can notch up a debut victory. SEA OF GALILEE (2) flew home over the mile at this track last start following a 1.2L defeat over this course and distance two starts ago. The wide draw is a niggle, but his recent form stacks right up and he can put his best foot forward yet again. CROMBIE (1) was only 1.2L off the winner most recently over the mile last time out as a $41 chance. Drawn wider this time, but he showed good early speed most recently and he can feature on the quick turnaround. LONG REIGN (8) is better than she showed last time out and can improve getting out in trip today. SOPHISTRY (9) can improve on the last start effort.

Most recently held ground to the line 2nd of 10 at this track Mdn on May 7 over 1600m, on a slow track; 1.2 len behind Eternally Yours with 56.5kg at $41. The run before that ran last of 9 at this track Mdn on April 5 over 1600m, on a slow track; 13 len behind Cosmic Gem with 58kg at $71. Better last start and he can't be discounted on that effort.

Second run back. First-up after five months eased back early on 6th of 11 at this track Mdn on April 26 over 1100m, on a slow track; 5 len behind Miss Rompin carrying 57.5kg at $21. Previously second-up ran last of 9 at this track Mdn on December 4 over 1600m, 9 len behind Bagger Prince with 56.5kg at $31. Impossible to make a case.

Gelding by The Autumn Sun facing the starter for the first time. Was runner-up in a trial at Lark Hill on May 4 over 930m. Both siblings are race winners. Ticks plenty of boxes here and he can make a statement on debut.
