Albion Park Race 2 - Yabby Dam Farms 1 Win Pace
SHARDS ECLIPSE NZ (4) has not raced for six-and-a-half months. Looks forward enough for this return after winning in a recent trial. Will have plenty of admirers. CLAUDES DESIRE (3) has been racing well of late. Finished fourth at his latest appearance over 1660m at this track, beaten 6 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meets a comparable field and he can take this out. HEZA DIRTY DANCER (1) could only manage seventh when resuming over 1780m at Redcliffe last start. racing fitter can place. JAKOB (9) ended last prep with a tenth at Riverina Paceway over 1740m eight months ago. Can open this campaign with a more positive effort.
