Albion Park Race 2 - Benstud Standardbreds Trotters Up To Nr55 Mbl
DESIRING DIAMONDS (7) finished third last start in a Group Two feature won by Fredidrivsamercury over 2138m at this track, beaten 30 metres. High class three-year-old filly who is perfectly placed to win. SECOND TO NUN (6) turned in another strong performance last start when she battled on bravely to finish third over 2138m here. Meets a comparable field and she can figure in the finish. DAIMYO (4) should be ready to peak now after finishing fourth over 1660m at this circuit two-and-a-half weeks ago. Expect him to give this a real shake. TARENTAISE (2) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at this course over 2138m. Top-three aspirations.
