Albury Race 7 - Vale Jeanette Romero
SMOKESHOW (8) won at Coolamon two runs ago before finishing fifth at her latest appearance over 2210m there, beaten 19 metres. Won't spend a penny from this draw but luck may play a role on the bell lap. Can feature in the outcome. CHEERSTOLOU (2) is a live hope following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 1690m at Shepparton. Draws low and looks well placed. CARIBBEAN PRIDE (9) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1760m at Coolamon. A good draw brings RACING WRITER (3) into contention.

Last start was fifth after being driven well back, behind Thalassophobia at Coolamon over 2210m in a NR up to 65 on April 25 at $10. Raced better the start before that where she won by 3 m as favourite (Sr4) at Coolamon (2:10.70) beating Geoffrey Bee in 4yo+ NR up to 50 on April 21 at $2.20 at the bell was leading 2.9. Capable of playing a major role.
