Albury Race 2 - Barry Mcbride Memorial
BIDGEE BABE (4) worked but proved too good in winning at this circuit and distance two back then had to race three wide without cover last week so was far from disgraced in finishing midfield. With better luck she can bounce back. FIFTYSHADESOFHAY NZ (2) has taken on better opposition in the last three outings at Wagga and was in very good form with back-to-back wins prior. Draws to make an impact. GOODTIME JAZZI (1) has had some tough draws but has produced some decent efforts since she led to win at Young last month and has the speed to take advantage of the ace draw. CATCH THE SHARK (5) came from this barrier when he won four back at Leeton so can feature.

Recent form below what she is capable of. Last start 8th (Fr2) over 1740m after showing early speed at Riverina Paceway, at the bell was 6th-12 beaten 19 m by Oh Sweet Creature (2:03.50) in NR up to 48 on December 5 at $12. The start before 7th (Sr1) over 1740m at Riverina Paceway beaten 10 m by Kristysgirl (2:04.20) in NR up to 48 on November 28 at $51. Draws well and drops in grade so can play a far greater role this time.

Last start won to make any headway until the straight; raced back and made ground from the turn; posted a big 5.5 m win (Fr3) at this track (2:14.40) beating Arklow in NR 36 to 38 on December 9 at $41 at the bell was 8th-13.2. Can go well.
