Marburg Race 4 - 2026 Goldbet The Western Star (Sky 1)
SCHOONERS (1) scored by 2.75 metres at Albion Park over 1660m last start, the second win from her past three outings. Has the benefit of a good draw. Facing a tougher assignment but she is up to the task. JAMES ALFRED (4) scored last start by 3.5 metres at Albion Park over 1660m after an encouraging minor placing the start before. Taking on a better line-up this time but he good enough to play a major role. ETERNAL BLISS (6) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when she finished second at Redcliffe over 1780m. WICKED SUSAN (9) must be respected after scoring last start by 1.4 metres at Albion Park over 2138m.

Eight-year-old gelding showed improvement last time. 3rd (Sr1) over 2138m at Albion Park beaten 6 m by Bettorlightem Up (2:32.70) in 4yo+ on June 13 at $51. The run before was not as impressive when beaten by 6 m finishing fifth behind Harperville at Albion Park over 1660m in a 3yo+ on May 26 at $19. Not keen.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Amylee at Albion Park over 1660m in a 3yo F on May 30 at $15. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Vinnie Nitro at Redcliffe over 1780m in a 3yo+ on June 5 at $5. Continues to race well and capable of going very well.
