Albury Race 5 - Hrnsw Guaranteed Ladyship Pace
MUSSEL SHOALS (2) gave a good sight last week when she led from a couple of spots wider and stuck on for a 1.6m second at Charlton. That continued her good form, including an Echuca win last month. Yet to miss a place at this distance and she has the gate speed to take advantage of the low draw. BETTES BLUE VIOLET (3) came from the back line when scoring by 1.3m here last month. That saw her unbeaten at this circuit and distance. With the aid of a good draw she could maintain that perfect record. MARLO MAREAU (7) must be considered after she drew on this row and worked but stuck on for a 3.6m third here last week. MISS HERMES (10) cops a tricky draw for her return after nearly 15 months but she was consistent last time in and has been readied with two trials.

Failed to impress last start; 8th (Fr5) over 1710m at Goulburn, beaten 30 m by Millie Francis (2:03.70) in NR 42 to 47 on December 9 at $7.50. Showed ability the run before when she tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 2 m (Sr1) at Canberra (2:13.40) beating Pencil Me In in 3yo+ NR up to 44 on November 30 at $5 at the bell was 3rd-4. Capable of more than she has shown recently. Can bounce back.
