Albion Park Race 8 - Garrards Horse & Hound Pace
MAHINDI NZ (9) registered yet another strong performance last time when she battled on for third at this circuit and distance, adding to a string of recent minor placings. Draws on the back line this time but enjoys a class drop. FIFTY THREE STARS (2) has been a model of consistency of late and added to a string of wins and placings last time out, scoring by more than 9 metres at Redcliffe. Has the benefit of a good draw so he is capable of another big performance. Ignore the latest result of ALTA SENSATION NZ (3) when held up. Runner-up in his previous two outings here and draws lower so is worth another chance. BART BENTLEY (1) didn't miss by much as runner-up two back then gave a good sight at this venue last week, leading and sticking on. May be competitive from the inside draw.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 3 m fourth behind My Ultimate Cossie at this track over 2138m 3yo+ last start. Before that was beaten a neck second at Redcliffe over 1780m same class on July 8. Race fit now and can be competitive from the ace draw.
