Albion Park Race 2 - Garrard's Horse And Hound Gold Cup H

GROOVEBIRD (8) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by 8 lengths at Sandown in a handy 41.98 beating Cashing Out. One of the key runners again. MIA MAGNIFICO (1) comes off a big run when second in a speedy 34.39 at Gosford over 603m. Has the ability and can measure up. VALPOLICELLA (2) boasts a strong record this course with 21 wins and 15 minors from 42 tries. Hit the frame latest (42.27) when third at this track in a OPEN. Looks suited here and can measure up. ACE'S CHANCE (4) profiles nicely over this trip.

Won two starts back over 600m at The Gardens. Last start she finished 2nd in a Grade 5 on January 14 over 603m at Gosford behind Make Them Cry beaten 1.5 lengths (34.39). Draw likely to suit. In form and can return to the winners' list.

Form has been solid with minor placings at her last three starts. Last time out finished 3rd on January 16 over 710m at this track behind Black Silencer beaten 9 lengths (42.27) in a OPEN. Hasn't been far away recently and can feature in the finish.

Missed the frame last start when seventh but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Looks a strong place chance on best figures.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (42.40) in a OPEN, finishing a 11 length fifth. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.

Comes off a (35.15) win last time, scoring by a neck in a Grade 5 over 600m at this track. Has a win and three places from four starts from this draw. Tough field and looking to others this time.
