Albany Race 4 - Tabtouch Have You Got The Touch (Bm70+)
GIFT OF THE HEART (3) will be chasing a hat-trick of wins on this track after making it 2 wins on the bounce here last week, when leading all the way and scoring by over a length. The step up to 1500m won't pose a problem, and with the aid of a 2kg claim, he will take some pegging back. BEAUTIFUL BAROQUE (6) finished an unlucky fifth here last week over a mile and was only a short-head from the winner before that, also on this track. If the gaps come at the right time, she can take this out. KNOT SECRET (1) held off all challengers to break his win drought at Ascot 15 days ago, holding on by a short-head. That sort of form will make him hard to beat in this. Go again. HENRY THE AVIATOR (2) had a tough trip when finishing midfield at Ascot last time out in a tougher field. He has a solid record on his home track here and is well-placed to bounce straight back into the money.

Useful type. Most recently came from midfield and won by a head at Ascot Westspeed 0Mwly April 12 over 1500m defeating Lova Session with 59.5kg at $5. Before that got back early 6th of 10 at Ascot Rtg 65+ on March 15 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Our Rocky Bay carrying 57.5kg at $15. Looks a good race for him and he is sure to be highly competitive again.

Useful type. Last start 5th of 11 at this track Rtg 58+ on April 20 over 1600m, slow going 6 len behind Golden Dore carrying 60.5kg at $9.50. The run before that 2nd of 8 at this track Rtg 64+ on February 28 over 1940m, head behind I Dreamed A Dream with 57kg at $3.20. Sure to prove hard to beat at a circuit she has enjoyed in the past.
