Albion Park Race 8 - Garrards Horse & Hound Mares Band 5 Pace
LA DERNIERE (3) comes here fresh from victory at Group Two level two weeks ago over 2138m at this track, scoring by a head. Drawn well and another win is on the cards. CHEER LEADER (2) ran fifth last start at this track over 1660m, beaten 30 metres. Expect her to pose a serious challenge. REASON TO SHINE (9) comes here following a fourth behind LA DERNIERE at Group Two level two weeks ago over 2138m at this track. Ideally placed to make amends. SWEET ADDITION (7) must be considered after she finished runner-up over 1660m at this track a week ago.

Solid run when beaten by 1.5 m finishing fifth after being driven well back, behind Commodore Jujon at this track over 2138m in a NR up to 70 on August 14 at $34. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Miss Idaho at this track over 1660m in a B 5 No NR M on August 23 at $15. Leading player.

Recent form below what she is capable of. Last start 5th (Sr2) over 1660m at this track, beaten 30 m by Rocket City (1:54.00) in B 5 No NR on August 23 at $34.

In good form last start. Won by 1.75 m when driven back in the field, (Fr6) held up early, at this track (1:56.50) beating Sweet Hayley Jane in No NR M on August 23 at $4.80. Two runs back 3rd (Sr3) over 1660m at this track, beaten 5.5 m by Luvareschs (1:56.00) in No NR M on August 14 at $11. Hard to enthuse in this field.

Four-year-old mare who has plenty of ability. Unlucky last start 4th (Fr1) over 2138m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 7 m by La Derniere (2:30.30) in 4yo G2 No NR M on August 16 at $17. Encouraging effort last start and is open to further improvement.
