Albion Park Race 8 - Id25 Ladbrokes Inter Dominion Pacing Championship Grand Final (Group 1)

A tricky inside draw looks the only realistic threat to a LEAP TO FAME (1) cakewalk. The local superstar was dominant in coming from the inside of the second row to win both heats, taking his record here to a phenomenal 38 from 44. Untried at the distance but his toughness and stamina suggest he will relish it. Risks being crossed early but as long as he can gain clear air he should claim a second Inter Dominion crown. Defending champion DON HUGO (6) needs to turn around last week's disappointment but did overcame a second row draw for a strong win in round one. Clearly the second best horse in this field so could still make a race of it. CAPTAINS KNOCK (9) did a good job to come from wide barriers for second in both rounds. Draws for a soft run on the pegs and if the luck presents can get into the trifecta. SPEAK THE TRUTH (3) led from this draw to win last week's heat so could give a sight. Veteran MAX DELIGHT (11) is tough enough to get into the first four over the marathon journey.

Seven-year-old gelding showed improvement last time. 3rd (Sr1) over 2680m at this track beaten 4 m by Speak The Truth (3:13.30) in No NR on July 12 at $13. The race before was not as impressive when beaten by 9 m finishing fourth behind Don Hugo at this track over 2138m in a No NR on July 5 at $41. Solid through the heats but doubt he can beat the big guns.

Nine-year-old gelding who has been thereabouts in recent starts. Last start 4th (Fr5) over 2680m at this track beaten 8 m by Sure Thing Captain (3:13.70) in No NR on July 12 at $34. Will not find this easy. Tough veteran but might find this a bit tough.

Disappointed last start; 8th (Fr1) over 2680m at this track, beaten 30 m by Leap To Fame (3:09.40) in No NR on July 12 at $2.30. Showed ability the race before when he won by 1.3 m as favourite (Sr3) at this track (2:29.30) beating Captains Knock in No NR on July 5 at $1.20. Defending Inter Dominion champion who could shake off the last-start disappointment and make a race of it.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr5) over 2680m at this track, beaten 22 m by Leap To Fame (3:09.40) in No NR on July 12 at $23. At the start before good run when 2nd (Sr4) over 2138m at this track, beaten 6 m by Sure Thing Captain (2:30.50) in No NR on July 5 at $12. Capable on his day and makes each way appeal.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 3 m second behind Speak The Truth at this track over 2680m No NR last start. Before that was beaten 1.3 metres second again at this track over 2138m same class on July 5. Has been good from wide draws and with a soft run likely could get into the finish.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after being driven well back, behind Leap To Fame at this track over 2138m in a No NR on July 5 at $31. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Sure Thing Captain at this track over 2680m in a No NR on July 12 at $7.50. Placed in last year's Inter Dominion final and is tough enough to feature again.

Registered wins at his last three starts. Last start won by 4 m as favourite when driven back in the field, (Fr4) held up early, at this track (3:13.70) beating Max Delight in No NR on July 12 at $1.40. Hard to leave out on current form. Tougher task from the back row but must respect winning form.

Well beaten last start by Leap To Fame, a rival who he faces again; when 17 metres fifth at this track over 2680m in a No NR race on July 12. Looks safely held.
