Albion Park Race 4 - Somerset Farms Open Pace
Superstar LEAP TO FAME (2) has been a class above in his two wins from wider barriers here since a spell and not expecting anything to change here. His record at this distance is a phenomenal 24 from 26 and the lower draw can see him dictate. He should be winning again. CATSEYE BEACH (1) took advantage of the ace draw when he led and dug deep to find winning form here last time. It's a different story tackling LEAP TO FAME tonight but the draw can get him into the placings. SMARTER THAN YOU (5) continued his consistent form when fourth last time and won here prior. Draws wider but has first four claims as does DISTRICT ATTORNEY (7) who draws wider but did better when placed last week.

Going well. Last start won by a head as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr1) at this track (1:54.00) beating Air Express in 4yo+ on September 19 at $2.25 at the bell was leading 0.58. Doubt he can match Leap To Fame but he draws to be in the money.
