Albion Park Race 7 - Garrards Horse & Hound Pace
THE LADY DIOR (5) resumes after finishing sixth at her latest appearance at Parkes on December 31. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. CAPTAIN NEMO NZ (4) produced a strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1660m at this track. Good enough to take out a race like this. DUAL CAM (2) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when third at this track over 1660m. Must be included. MY ULTIMATE FELIX (7) will be rock-hard fit after four runs back from a spell, the latest effort a fourth at this track a week ago.

Last start 4th (Fr5) over 2040m at Redcliffe beaten 4 m by Lochinvar Jewells (2:30.30) in 3yo+ NR 45 to 52 on April 1 at $23. Before that, 6th (Sr1) over 2040m at Redcliffe, beaten 9 m by So Many Moments (2:30.50) in 3yo+ NR 47 to 54 on March 25 at $7.50. Draws the pegs so expect a better effort.

Last start was well beaten into third behind Miss Froufrou at this track over 1660m in a 3yo+ NR up to 65 on March 30 at $5.50. Performed better the start before where he won by 8 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr3) at Redcliffe (2:28.90) beating Two Ticks in 2-3yo+ wins on March 19 at $1.40. Looks very hard to beat.

Comes here second-up after a week. Lacklustre first-up performance when 10th (Fr7) over 1660m after being wide early at this track beaten 70 m by Oakley Shard (1:55.90) in 3yo+ NR 49 to 55 on March 31 at $101. Not keen on his chances in this line-up.

Fair run when beaten by 3 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Major Crunch at this track over 2138m in a 3yo+ NR 48 to 55 on March 24 at $6.50. Then a handy effort when a close third behind Oakley Shard at this track over 1660m in a 3yo+ NR 49 to 55 on March 31 at $5.50. Will be right in the thick of things.

Returns after three-and-a-half months in the paddock. Finished off last campaign when well beaten into sixth behind Indasky at Parkes over 2040m in a NR up to 55 on December 31 at $2. Rates highly. Should be ready to run well.

Fair performance when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third behind Intrusion at Bendigo over 2150m in a NR 56 to 64 on February 20 at $7.50. Then a handy effort when a close second after showing early speed, behind Much Bettor at this track over 1660m in a 3yo+ NR 51 to 57 on March 27 at $3.80. Genuine threat.
