Albury Race 5 - Surdex Steel Mdn Plate
Looks a race in two, with TALLINGAS IMMORTAL (11) the clear top choice. Has been freshened up and changed stables since a strong return from a spell over 1100m at Wodonga on 4 January, beaten narrowly after leading most of the way. Will go fast again and prove tough to catch coming back in distance. CAPITAL DESIGN (4) is the threat. Passed a vet's exam but was a bit plain last time over 1000m at Gundagai. Placed here at this trip in mid-December. Freshened up and capable of testing the top pick. WALLABY JACK (3) has little early gate speed which costs him in these sharp sprints. Three runs this prep have been pass-marks only. Not much depth outside the top two so he is an each-way hope. TRADER'S GUESS (13) was in the money on debut at Tumut recently. This is tougher but if she shows natural improvement she should weigh in again. TRAVELON DORY (14) hasn't been too far away in her two runs this prep. Must go in the wider exotics.

Gelding by Bel Esprit on debut. Runner-up in a Wodonga jump-out on January 21. Should get all the favours from this good gate so could well play a big role.

At the latest run 4th of 13 at this track Mdn-Sw on January 19 over 1000m, 5 len behind Sizzleist with 59kg at $12. The race before that settled back and ran on when 5th of 10 at Wangaratta Mdn-Sw on December 22 over 1100m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Acantilado with 59.5kg at $41. Going better than most of these so he appeals on an each-way basis.

Comes off a 34 day let-up. Most recently 5th of 11 at Gundagai Mdn-Sw on January 2 over 1000m, 4.5 len behind Romanticism carrying 54.5kg at $3.70. Before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 10 at Wangaratta Mdn-Sw on December 22 over 1100m, slow going 2.75 len behind Acantilado carrying 58kg at $9. This looks the ideal assignment.

Speedy type who strips fitter and is ready to win.
