Albion Park Race 7 - Bettor's Delight: The Standardbred Stallion King Mares Band 5 Pace
SWEET DIOR NZ (7) put the writing on the wall with a couple of close-up efforts before she delivered last time out, leading to score by 2.5 metres at this circuit and distance. Must overcome a wider barrier but with even luck she could strike again. SEASIDE GLORY (3) copped a tough draw last week but had produced some decent efforts prior, coming from wider than this to miss narrowly as runner-up last month. Expect big improvement from the favourable barrier. VINCHESKA (5) took advantage of the ace draw to lead and win last week. Draws deeper but her record here now stands at three from four. RACANA NZ (2) draws well again and must be respected after adding to a string of wins and placings with a fighting victory last week.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 6th (Sr2) over 1660m at this track beaten 16 m by Fate Awaits (1:55.20) in 4yo+ on September 5 at $19. The run previous 5th (Fr4) over 2138m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 7 m by Ruby Rules (2:33.10) in 4yo G2 on August 22 at $34. Draws for a much better result.
