Albany Race 4 - Graham Manley Auto Repairs Hcp (C1)
BRAVE WASP (1) resumes with a solid Albany trial behind him and brings the strongest overall ratings profile, including one win and two placings from four starts at the distance. His last-campaign CL3 and NMW1Y runs read well enough for this, especially as he was not beaten far despite racing from the rear. NAILED'EM (2) is the race-fit danger, third-up, back to 1000m and already a winner at this track and trip, though he did tire after leading at Belmont Park. AUTOFOCUS (8) has to lift on two plain CL2 runs before the break, but she has trialled recently and her best is good enough to be a place factor. DOLCE MASCHINO (5) has first-time blinkers and an easy Albany trial win to offset a modest opening campaign, so improvement fresh would not surprise. BRAZEN BID (3) can resume on a similar note to how he left off last campaign.

Resumes after four months off and has been readied with a solid third in a trial at Albany. His last campaign ended with two sixths, but he was beaten just under three lengths in a Class 3 at Northam after charging home from the rear and had earlier tackled NMW1Y grade at Belmont Park. Clear winning chance.

Led and tired when fifth at Belmont Park last start, beaten four and a half lengths after being unwanted in the market, but he now gets an easier assignment from mid-week company. His first-up fourth at Bunbury was much sharper, tracking the speed and finishing within two lengths despite being tightened on jumping. Belmont run had limits, but the setup is much kinder now.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing second in a Class 2 at this track, where he led and was run down late as favourite. He had also been close fourth here in the same grade at generous odds, so the old form has some merit, and he did beat Nailed'em at this venue last preparation. Ended last campaign on a positive note and he can pick up from where he left off.

Resumes after eight months off following a fourth at Narrogin in BM52+ grade, where she sat handy but was beaten five and a half lengths. That came after a narrow Mdn win over Artie's Eclipse at Narrogin, so there is some recent winning form to work from. Mixed trials temper confidence, despite barrier one.

Resumes after six months off with first-time blinkers and an easy Albany trial win, both useful pointers for a lightly raced gelding. His race form is still thin, having been unwanted in the market when fifth in a Mdn at this track on heavy ground and beaten out of sight here the run prior after racing wide. Blinkers may have made a big difference though and he has to be included.

Resumes after six months off for Alan Smith after a fourth in Class 2 company at this track, beaten three and a half lengths when racing wide throughout. He was well held over longer before that, finishing sixth and beaten over 19 lengths, and his 1000m record is also modest.

Resumes after six months off and has trialled at Albany, finishing second, so she has had a lead-in for this. Her last race start was a fifth in a Mdn at this track on heavy ground, beaten three and a half lengths after sitting close enough but failing to finish it off.

Resumes after six months off after two plain Class 2 runs at this track, the latest a seventh on heavy ground when she made some ground from back in the field but was never in the hunt. She had been beaten over 11 lengths the start prior after beginning slowly. Can resume on a positive note.
