Albany Race 3 - Albany Views Private Estate (Bm70+)

BLUE LINE (3) settled back in the run in the small field last start but was far too good over 1230m last time out. Back in trip this time is a little niggle, but he is a three-time winner at this track and trip. Can sit close to the speed and bring up back-to-back wins. FIRST LAW (5) ran over the top to score in a CL5 at Esperance last start over this trip. He is 0/3 at this track and trip, but he rates highly on his recent figures and he is sure to be there late in the race. STORM COMMANDER (1) should find a midfield position under ZJP and the claim comes in handy following a strong effort in this grade last start. He's 33 days between runs now, but he's a winner at this track and trip and he's sure to be there late in the race. VIA MONTE (7) finds a nice race and can be there at the pointy end.

Returns from a 33-day let-up. Most recently came from midfield; 3rd of 11 at Esperance Esperance Spri on March 2 over 1200m, long-neck behind I Am Spartacus carrying 59kg at $19. Before that got back early 5th of 7 at Mt Barker Rtg 70+ on February 21 over 1100m, 2.5 len behind Flick The Switch with 57kg at $7. Takes on a tougher assignment this time but should be hard to stop.

Before that eased back early on 10th of 13 at this track Bluff Knoll on March 16 over 1099m, on a slow track; 5 len behind Rope Them In with 55kg at $151. Will need to do a bit more.

Useful gelding. Last start settled well back; won by 1.75 len at this track Rtg 69+ March 16 over 1230m on a rain affected track defeating Cousin Ivan with 55.5kg at $3.30. The race before that 7th of 10 at Mt Barker Rtg 58+ on January 19 over 1000m, 1.3 len behind Frantic War carrying 58kg at $4.80. Hard to beat if he brings his A-game.

Recent form sound. Comes here off a 33-day let-up. At the latest run came home strongly from last on the turn and won by 0.7 len at Esperance Cl5 March 2 over 1100m defeating Alotofbanter with 57kg at $21. Before that ran on from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Mt Barker Rtg 58+ on February 21 over 1200m, 1.1 len behind Cousin Ivan carrying 57kg at $9.50. Back in winning form and can measure up again.

Last start ran last of 13 at this track Bluff Knoll on March 16 over 1099m, slow going 9 len behind Rope Them In with 55kg at $101. The run before that couldn't go on with it; second last of 10 at this track Rtg 70+ on February 28 over 1500m, 9 len behind Henry The Aviator carrying 54kg at $26. Doubt he will offer up too much of a challenge to the top few.

At the latest run second last in a small field at this track Rtg 69+ on March 16 over 1230m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Blue Line carrying 56.5kg at $4.80. The race before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 11 at Esperance Esperance Spri on March 2 over 1200m, 3 len behind I Am Spartacus carrying 55.5kg at $41. Finds a nice race and can bounce back to his best.
