Albion Park Race 7 - Garrards Horse & Hound Mares Open Pace
COOL AND CLASSY (2) is a classy mare who had some tough barriers in good company through the carnival. Won the last two times she started on this row and her strike rate here is impressive. The one to beat from a good draw. RUBY RULES (4) has been freshened since recording back-to-back wins at this circuit and distance in August, the latest in the Triad Final where she beat COOL AND CLASSY home. Draws wider than that rival but could pick up where she left off. SALLY BIGTIME (1) is a consistent mare who has been racing well from wider barriers. Player from the inside draw. TREMENDOUS SENSATION NZ (5) comes into this off a string of top-two results and hasn't missed a place at this distance so respect.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start posted a big 4 m win as favourite (Fr3) at this track (2:33.10) beating Reds Ablaze in 4yo G2 on August 22 at $1.30 at the bell was leading 2.23. Hard to leave out on current form. Hard to knock winning form.

Solid performance when beaten by 1.75 m finishing second behind Golden Fire at this track over 1660m in a 4yo+ on September 19 at $3.70. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Seaside Glory at this track over 1660m in a 4yo+ on September 26 at $3.70. Has been consistent of late and can be involved again.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Sally Bigtime at this track over 2138m in a 4yo+ on September 12 at $9. Then a handy effort when a close second after being driven well back, behind Major Crunch at this track over 2138m in a 4yo+ on September 26 at $6. Prefer others.
