Albion Park Race 7 - Ladbrokes Ultimate Driver Heat 17 (Band 5 Pace)
LIFE OF ART (6) is a newcomer to the Turpin yard from New Zealand where he was a winner four back at Young Quinn Raceway. Chased a Group 1 winner when runner up in a trial at this circuit. That should have him primed to kick off in Queensland with a win. Prepared to overlook the latest result of MOMENTUM SWING (2) when he was drawn on the back row. Strong effort two back when he worked forward from a wide barrier to find the front and score by 3.3m at this venue. Danger from a low draw. COSMIC FLYER (5) is hard to knock having recorded three wins and a second from the last four starts, coming from this barrier to win last time at Redcliffe. The ace draw can spark improvement from ROCLEA IMAGE (1) while MIRACLE MOOSE (3) has been racing well from the back row, winning here two back. Can feature from the favourable draw.
