Albion Park Race 6 - Benstud Standardbreds Open Pace
SPEAK THE TRUTH (6) returns from a raid on the Sydney carnival where his best result was a fourth to Leap To Fame in a Miracle Mile qualifier. Won three in a row at this circuit and distance before heading south, two of those from this barrier. Kept up to the mark with a trial and can return to the winners' list. FRANKIE FEROCIOUS (5) draws a couple of spots better than last start and had recorded a series of top-three finishes here prior including a win over this distance. TIMS A TROOPER (4) was solid again when fourth last week and draws one spot closer to the pegs. Should perform well again. TIGER BAND WAGON (2) has been coming from wider barriers since winning here three back. May do better from this draw.
