Albion Park Race 2 - Burwood Stud 2Yo Maiden Pace
AARDIES A STAR NZ (1) is a lightly raced newcomer to the Chantal Turpin yard from NZ. Hasn't raced for two months but a trial win at this circuit and distance suggests he is ready to go and he should get every chance from the ace draw. GO MINNIE (8) looks close to a win after finishing second in her two starts to date, both of them at this circuit and distance. Draws to trail the top pick and could be dangerous. BET HES SWEET (5) lines up for the first time. By Sweet Lou and is another from the Chantal Turpin stable. Looked above average in winning his latest trial so keep safe. JEWEL REASON (9) has been freshened since tackling the Gold Tiara series in Bathurst. May feature with even luck from the back row.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Harper Delight at this track over 1660m in a 2yo MAIDEN on April 28 at $26. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Blackjack Sam at this track over 1660m in a 2yo No NR on May 5 at $13. One of the exotic chances.

Two back was well beaten into second after being driven well back, behind Hunt For Glory at this track over 1660m in a 2yo MAIDEN on April 21 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Harper Delight at this track over 1660m in a 2yo MAIDEN on April 28 at $2.50. Draws for a trail and has the ability to take this out.
