Albany Race 6 - Vale David Hicks (Bm70+)
MANAVENDRA (2) drops right back in grade today having tackled Saturday company most recently where he was beaten 4.1L as a $3.70 chance. The form out of his races has been strong and he's getting closer to a drought-breaking win. He rates highly in this field and can return to winning ways. DEADLY AND FAST (7) got a long way back but hit the line nicely over 1600m here in a CL5 event. He was good at Mt Barker two back and looks to get a gun run from the barrier. Yuill rides again and he can play a major role. I DREAMED A DREAM (1) just got too far back last start and couldn't reel in the winner, but he drops back to country grade this time. Mahony's claim comes in handy and he's won at the track and trip previously. Leading chance. PECOS (9) has been around the mark recently and has to be included form a good draw. ALBERICH (4) can be thereabouts stepping up to this trip for just the second time.

Useful gelding. Last start eased back early on 7th of 10 at Ascot Rtg 66+ on March 22 over 1800m, 4.5 len behind Filthy Habits carrying 57.5kg at $17. The race before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a head at this track Rtg 64+ February 28 over 1940m defeating Beautiful Baroque with 60kg at $2.45. Rates highly and looks sure to feature.

Useful gelding. Most recently 6th of 8 at Bunbury Rtg 66+ on March 8 over 1690m, 4 len behind Above The Peg carrying 57kg at $3.70. The race before that second last of 7 at Ascot Rtg 72+ on March 1 over 1600m, 3 len behind Fluro Neuro carrying 54kg at $18. Can improve on the latest effort and is well-placed to take this out.

Recent form sound. At the latest run raced on the pace when 3rd of 8 at this track Cl2 on March 16 over 1900m, on a slow track; 1.5 len behind Modelistic carrying 59kg at $3.90. The run before that 4th of 9 at Pinjarra Cl3 on March 6 over 1600m, 3.5 len behind Barra Mundy with 57kg at $12. Can improve again. Capable enough on his day and is one of the major players.
