Albany Race 1 - Country Comfort Mdn
SIGN OF THE TIMES (7) is the one to beat off a sound Bunbury debut, where he was third in a Mdn on soft ground after racing keenly and being bumped at straightening. That race experience, barrier one and an easy Albany trial win two weeks ago give him the most appealing profile in a race that looks to have a long tail. LUZ DEL SOL (8) won a recent trial at this track in readiness after tackling an Open 2YO race before the break. She's been handy in maiden company around some efforts in Saturday grade. Drawn well here and can play a leading role. DUNDEEMICKY (3) brings no race form to assess, though first-time blinkers and a family with 1000m winners give him some debut interest. GOD'LL GETYA (1) was second at this track before the break despite racing wide throughout, and the 3kg claim helps his place claims if he brings that trial form to raceday. BLINDING LUCK (4) is next best.

Returns from a six-month break after finishing second in a Mdn at this track on heavy ground, beaten a length by Conducive despite racing wide throughout. He has since won an easy Albany trial, and the 3kg claim gives him a practical assist from a wide draw. The 1000m record keeps him more place hope than standout.

Returns from a six-month break with a trial win at Albany, but the race form remains the concern. He was seventh at this track before spelling, beaten over 16 lengths after leading and weakening badly, and he was unwanted in the market. His previous sixth had some late traffic, though he was still beaten five lengths. Has plenty to turn around.

Makes his debut in first-time blinkers, which is the clearest positive signal for a first starter with no recent trials listed. His half-siblings include Endovanera, a 1000m Belmont Park winner, and Ayasha, who was with the same trainer, so there is some family substance. No recent trials listed, so market confidence would be important.

Returns from a five-month break after a plain seventh at Pinjarra Scarpside, beaten just over eight lengths on good ground after sitting behind the leaders and failing to come into the race. Her previous fourth at this track was better, with a steadying incident near the 400m and late ground made on heavy going. Her fourth at this venue two back reads better than the Pinjarra Scarpside miss, but place claims look fairest.

Returns from a ten-month break with a solid third in her latest Albany trial to suggest some readiness. She was ninth at Mt Barker before spelling, beaten just over six lengths at big odds without making an impression, though her prior fifth at this track had merit after coming from well back and being hampered near the 200m. Has placed at this track and trip, but recent race figures leave her with work to do.

Returns from an eight-month break after finishing second last at this track, beaten over 18 lengths on soft ground, and there was no clear excuse in the run. The start prior, she blundered on jumping and made some ground without threatening. Recent race form is too plain to recommend strongly.

Returns from a five-month break after a very sound Bunbury debut, finishing third in a Mdn on soft ground and beaten three and a half lengths by Merivale Louvain. He raced keenly near the 500m and was bumped at straightening, so there was more merit in the effort than the margin alone. Barrier one adds to the profile and he looks the one they have to beat.

Returns from a six-month break after finishing last in an Open at Belmont Park, beaten eight and a half lengths behind Achy Breaky when sent out at long odds. Her previous run at this track was also plain, though she raced keenly. The upside is a trial win at Albany, a leading local trainer and a top-rated last-12-months profile, while blinkers come off. Recent form is plain, but she can improve sharply fresh.
