Albion Park Race 6 - Garrards Horse & Hound Pace
OUR SUNSET DELIGHT (1) was less than 4m off the winner last time and had been racing well prior, winning two of his previous three starts at this circuit. The ace draw gives him the chance to return to the winners' circle. SOAP OPERA (3) had been building towards a win and it arrived last start, getting home by a neck at this circuit and distance. Led there and draws to push forward again so could go on with it. ROYAL SPEECH (6) draws a couple of spots wider but is a player off a last-start win by 9 metres at this venue and distance. CONGO LINE (2) won from the back row two back before placing from this barrier last time. Go well.
