Albury Race 1 - Surdex Steel Country Boosted Mdn Hcp
FOUR ESSES (6) mixing her form and comes here in peak condition. Drifted back early and failed to get into the contest with a disappointing sixth over 1175m at this track. Gets in light again and assess on earlier efforts. PRIZED GESTURE (8) returns after a four-and-a-half month break and now in the Fiona Schneiders yard. Back without a trial and drops in weight in a fairly average contest. Place best. LORD OF VALOR (1) in need of the run first-up after the lengthy break with a battling fifth over 900m at this track. Proven second-up and has the ability to take a hand in the finish. STAR CHIC (9) gave away a big start at the top of the straight last start and finished seventh over 1280m at Canberra Acton. Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes.

Facing the starter for the first time. Two-year-old gelding by Tiger Of Malay out of Hold For Ransom. At the most recent trial finished sixth at Canberra over 900m. Hard to have without seeing him do something under race conditions.
