Albion Park Race 6 - I H Capital Band 4 / Band 3 Pace

CALLING BUDDY (7) is flying having extended his winning streak at this circuit to five when getting home by 4.5 metres last week. Has to negotiate a wider starting position this time but is going well enough to overcome that and add to the picket fence. HIRANYA (8) was solid in a good line-up last week and had recorded a win and two seconds from his previous three starts so has been racing well. Strikes at 50 per cent at this circuit and distance and draws for a trail so could be dangerous. O B LEGAL (4) did some work but stuck on to place last week. Can feature again. Something for the Multiples: O B LEGAL NZ (4) HIRANYA NZ (8)

Last start 5th (Fr6) over 1660m at this track beaten 6 m by Captain Shuffles (1:54.30) in No NR on January 4 at $16. Before that, a solid effort when 2nd (Fr2) over 1660m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 15 m by Duke Of Scotland (1:52.50) in No NR on December 28 at $12.
