Albany Race 4 - See You At The Wellington & Reeves Albany Cup (C2)
DODGE 'EM (2) improved well second-up and should be fitter for that run after sitting on the speed in a good race here last time out. Back to 1000m now and he should be on the speed from the draw once again. Form out of his last start has been good and he looks the one to beat. SHEZGOTTHALOT (6) was on the 5-day turnaround last time out at Esperance when 2.2L off the winner over 1300m. She's back to 1000m today and while she's likely to get back in the run, she'll be finishing off strongly late. Figures stack up and she won't be far away. LATE ARRIVAL (4) has turned in a good trial since his last start 91 days ago when trained in Victoria. He got up over much further in his previous campaign, but he showed good speed in his latest trial. Can make an impression. ALOTTA DANE (1) was a winner here three starts ago and comes back to 1000m now. Draws well and can play a role. SECRET STONES (5) is knocking on the door and can be in the finish again.

Gelding returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last campaign sixth of 9 at Stawell Bm58 January 3 over 2004m, 3 len behind Winsome Flowers carrying 61kg at $4.20. Previous preparation first-up won by neck Geelong Mdn-Sw August 9 over 1500m defeating Toreador with 59.5kg at $2.90. Everything points to a effective return.
