Albion Park Race 2 - Burwood Stud 2yo Mdn Pace
DOUBLEFAULT (9) performed well again last start, going back from a wide draw before making up plenty of ground but finding one better. That was his third successive runner-up result at this circuit and distance so he deserves a win. With even luck from the back row he can get the job done. ILLBERIDINGSHOTGUN (1) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months after placing in all three starts of the maiden campaign. May have developed since last seen in June and gets the ace draw so expecting a bright start to the campaign. RESERVED FOR ME (6) draws wider but is open to improvement after debuting with a solid third here last week. CHERRY SURPRISE (2) has been freshened since tackling the QBred Triad 2F Final and was runner-up in her only other appearance.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 2.75 m second behind Big Reputation at this track over 1660m 2yo last start. Before that was beaten a nose second again at this track same class on September 22. Rates highly so expect a bold run.
