Albion Park Race 11 - Burwood Stud 2Yo Trotters Handicap

DESIRING DIAMONDS (4) is looking to improve on her last-start fourth behind Jilliby Aura at Listed level over 2240m at Melton seven weeks ago. Ideally placed to return to form. SERENA LOVE (7) scored by 5 metres at Marburg over 2200m last start at her first run back from a spell. That latest effort is good enough to put her right in the finish. KICKING HORSE (8) ended last prep with a win at this track over 2138m nine weeks ago. Capable of a forward showing while fresh. Something for the Multiples: SMOKEY BEAR (6)

Resumes. At the latest first-up run 5th (FT Fr3) over 2138m at this track well beaten by Iconic Image (2:49.60) in 2yo No NR on July 24 at $11. Has been sharpened up at the trials but may still need the run.

Last start 4th (FT Fr6) over 2200m at Marburg beaten 40 m by Serena Love (2:59.80) in 2yo No NR on October 19 at $2.30. Two runs back then recovered to finish third over 2138m at this track last time out. Strips fitter now and is a solid top-three chance.

Last start 4th (Fr5) over 2240m after showing early pace at Melton, beaten 25 m by Jilliby Aura (2:47.50) in 2yo LR No NR F on September 13 at $26. Before that, 4th (FT Fr3) over 2138m at this track, beaten 85 m by Kicking Horse (2:44.50) in 2yo No NR on August 26 at $4.20. Sure to be right there at the business end.

Two-year-old colt facing the starter for the second time. At debut 6th (FT Fr2) over 2200m at Marburg well beaten by Serena Love (2:59.80) in 2yo No NR on October 19 at $6. Not keen on his chances in this field.

Two back was third after being driven well back, behind Kicking Horse at this track over 2138m in a 2yo No NR on August 26 at $19. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Serena Love at Marburg over 2200m in a 2yo No NR on October 19 at $3.20. Going along well. In the mix.

Resuming after nine weeks off the scene. Finished off last campaign recording a win by 9 m as favourite (FT Fr2) at this track (2:44.50) beating Fredidrivsamercury in 2yo No NR on August 26 at $1.60 at the bell was leading 4.3m on the pegs. Previous preparation first-up posted a big 9 m win (FT Fr1) at this track (2:51.00) beating Kyokushin Bear in 2yo No NR on May 30 at $2.60. Has won when fresh before and looks hard to beat.
