Albion Park Race 2 - Sunshine Stars Yearling Sale Sunday February 22 Pace
Prepared to forgive the latest result of LLANFAIR LLEWELLAN (3) when he came from the back row. Has won at this circuit the last three times he started on the front line so can bounce back aided by the low draw. EPIC ERNIE (1) has put together a long string of solid efforts when not too far off the placegetters. Has been coming from wider or second line barriers so the ace draw can see him right in the finish. STUDLEIGH MARK (4) led and kept going for a last-start win by 2.7 metres at this circuit and distance. Only draws one spot wider so can be prominent again. THE TIGER ARMY (8) draws for a trail and is worth some thought after he was beaten less than 4m last week.

Last start was well back in the run when 5th (Fr5) over 1660m at this track beaten 9 m by Studleigh Mark (1:57.90) in 3yo+ NR 45 to 50 on January 30 at $12. Before that, 4th (Sr1) over 1660m at this track, beaten 3 m by Borsellino (1:58.20) in 3yo+ NR 49 to 56 on January 23 at $8.50. Draws the inside so worth another chance.
