Albion Park Race 2 - Id26 Ladbrokes Inter Dominion Pacing Championship Round One - Heat 1
MINOS NZ (11) has been good since heading north. Won two back at this circuit and distance and was a real eye-catcher when charging home for third behind series favourites Leap To Fame and The Janitor last start, beaten only 2.5m. Tougher draw but with luck his form should stack up. Last year's Eureka winner BAY OF BISCAY (3) brings consistent form from Victoria. Scored from the second row two back then drew wider than this when beaten 1.2m into second at Melton last start. Loves this distance with two wins and a placing from three attempts and should get his chance from this draw. Stablemate OLIVER DAN (2) has relished low draws in winning his last two outings at Melton and gets another one here. That can see him competitive again. CAPTAINS KNOCK (9) makes his first appearance since a brave fourth in The Race in NZ. Back row draw but hasn't missed a place in seven fresh attempts, winning four. Nullarbor winner MAX DELIGHT (1) also goes well fresh and gets the ace draw so respect.

First up. At the last run was 3rd (Fr5) over 2936m at Gloucester Park beaten 4 m by Magnificent Storm (3:36.70) in G1 on April 24 at $12. Owns a strong fresh record and trialling well so can play a role from the ace draw.

Last start game effort despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr6) over 2240m at Melton, at the bell was 4th-6.94 beaten 1.2 m by Fox Dan (2:41.40) on June 20 at $2.70. Two runs back won by 2 m (Sr3) at Maryborough (3:21.30) beating War Dan Buddy in on May 31 at $3.40. Handy draw will assist and he owns a strong record at this distance.

Finished up last campaign with a win at this track, started this campaign 6th (Fr5) over 2138m at this track, beaten 19 m by Leap To Fame (2:28.20) on June 19 at $51. Then last time 5th (Sr2) over 1660m at this track, beaten 12 m by Marketplace (1:55.70) in 4yo+ on June 27 at $21. Has an impressive strike rate here and draws for a trail so may be worth including.

Last start good run when 3rd (Fr4) over 2138m after showing early speed at this track beaten 2.5 m by Leap To Fame (2:28.20) on June 19 at $7. Two runs back won by 5.5 m after showing early speed, (Fr3) at this track (2:28.60) beating Sweet On Lexy in 4yo+ on June 13 at $2.50. Draws on the back row but comes of an eye-catcher behind the topliners.
