Albion Park Race 3 - Ladbrokes Ultimate Driver Heat 13 (Band 4/Band 3 Pace)
LUVBITE (8) added to a string of wins and placings when he got home by 6 metres at this circuit and distance. Should enjoy a pretty soft run from this draw, with the sprint lane in play. Hard to knock his recent consistency and is a big chance to make it two on the trot. OUR MAJOR DAY (1) is another that has put together a series of top-three finishes. Did a good job for second from the back row last time and led to win from this draw two back. Could do that again. ARODA (7) is first up for nine weeks but has a touch of class and is a two-time fresh winner. Look out for any positive market movement. BRETTS RED (9) draws on the second line but must be respected after winning four of his last seven outings here. AMAMI (2) can be competitive from the good draw.
