Albury Race 5 - Travla-Australian Lager Pace
BARWEN STORM (8) deserves a win after finishing runner-up in his last four outings, beaten by narrow margins at his last couple. Edged out by a nose at Shepparton last time and came from this barrier to miss by a head at Wagga prior. Gets his chance to break through. CRESCO THREEPEAT (10) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when fourth at Shepparton. No favours expected from this draw but with even luck he could grab a win. CRIMSON ROCK NZ (9) is another that will need some luck from the back line but has claims off a second two back at Leeton. Last-start Leeton winner LIFE GETS BETTER (2) draws for another good showing.

Last start tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a head (Fr1) at Leeton (2:12.90) beating Nifty Schoobee in on July 7 at $6 at the bell was 3rd-5.3. Will benefit from inside draw. Has winning claims again.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Sr1) over 1758m at Leeton, beaten 30 m by Girl Just Fly (2:10.50) on July 7 at $26. Showed ability the run before when he failed to make any headway until the straight; raced back and made ground from the turn; posted a big 6 m win when driven back in the field, (Fr3) held up early, at Riverina Paceway (2:07.50) beating Jakryan in on June 9 at $13 at the bell was 8th-11.6. Place best.

Solid performance when a close second behind Bidgee Babe at Riverina Paceway over 1740m on June 30 at $3.20. Then a handy effort when a close second after showing early speed, behind Wheres Wood Wood at Shepparton over 1690m on July 14 at $3.30. Deserves a win and could achieve it here.
