Albury Race 3 - Vale Wally Blezard
The recent form of CHRISSY EVE (8) may not leap off the page but she has been tackling stronger opposition at Wagga. Better placed and is well up to winning this with even luck from the back row. SOPHIES SCOOTER (7) recorded her second win from the past four outings when she found the lead and kept going to score by 2.2 metres at Leeton last start. Has won at this circuit and distance before. Drawn to enjoy a cosy run and if she gets the gaps could feature again. OUR ULTIMATE BONNY (2) has had some tough barriers since winning at Wagga last month. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a good run and she could show her best from there. ALTA BAYAMO (9) draws on the back row again but is open to improvement following a respectable third when resuming at Echuca. The ace draw could see ARMA THE GREAT (1) find the form that saw him score three back at Wagga.

Recent efforts haven't been up to her best. Last start 6th (Sr2) over 1758m at Leeton was 4th-7 at the bell, beaten 13 m by Sophies Scooter (2:12.70) on July 7 at $7. The run before 6th (Sr1) over 1740m at Riverina Paceway was 2nd-1.7 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Miss Ardlethan (2:06.60) on June 30 at $13. Has a low draw and should get her chance from there.

Fair performance when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third behind Rocket Boy at Riverina Paceway over 1740m on July 3 at $5. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Jilliby Saffron at Young over 1720m on July 14 at $5.50. Can overcome the awkward draw to continue with the good form.
