Albion Park Race 8 - Benstud Standardbreds Open Pace
ATTACHMENT (1) is in fine form having made it three wins in a row at the latest appearance last week, leading from a wider barrier before getting home by 4 metres. Has the speed to take full advantage of the ace draw so it is hard to tip against him. TIMS A TROOPER (2) has come from wider barriers than this to place behind ATTACHMENT in the last two outings. He'll need to lift to turn the tables but expect him to figure in the finish. WISPER A SECRET (3) is another that has been chasing Attachment of late, placing behind him in the last three outings. He draws for another top-three result. DARIN NZ (5) draws wider but has recorded a win and a close second in his two outings since he just missed in the Inter Dominion consolation.
