Albion Park Race 8 - Ladbrokes Odds Surge Nr70-99 Veterans Pace
ROYAL SPEECH (6) had no luck when he was checked and broke last time out but had been racing well with a string of top-four finishes prior. He is deserving of another chance. ROCKS OR DIAMONDS (3) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when fifth from a wider barrier after placing two back. Should enjoy an economical run from this draw. Winning hope. TAIRLAW TOLL (5) has performed well when fresh in the past so is in the mix at his first outing for three-and-a-half months. OUR MAJOR DAY (7) must be considered after he finished third from this barrier here two weeks ago.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing ninth after showing early speed, behind Bretts Red at this track over 2138m in a No NR on February 22 at $2.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Life Of Art at this track over 1660m in a 7yo+ NR 70 to 99 on March 18 at $23. Can be in the finish again.
