Albury Race 3 - Wodonga Spring Works Mdn Plate
BLAZING SWORD (2) has returned in good order, missing out by just 0.6 lengths here first-up then going even closer at Swan Hill last start. Comes back 100m which is the only query, otherwise he looks ready to win. RIVERBEND UNICORN (7) opened this prep with a couple of nice efforts over 1400m then failed when extended to 1675m at Wagga Riverside last time. Worth another chance coming back in distance. GIOIA RIVER (12) caught the eye late at Wagga last time. Not sure coming back in distance is the right move but she should be strong late again. BROKEN IMAGE (9) stepped up to 1400m for the first time last start and battled on well for second after racing closer to the speed than usual. Needs to go another 100m today but should be competitive. FLUTTERBY (11) has found form and with blinkers on for the first time today is a genuine threat.

Second run from a spell raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 12 at Swan Hill 2&3yo Mdn-Sw on June 8 over 1600m, on a slow track; neck behind Em Sixty carrying 59.5kg at $7.50. Fitter now and making headway. Ready to peak now and will be hard to beat.

Recent form sound. Most recently held ground to the line 2nd of 11 at this track Mdn on May 27 over 1400m, on rain affected going; neck behind Desert Opal with 56kg at $5.50. Before that came from midfield; 3rd of 12 at this track F&M Mdn on May 16 over 1175m, 1.2 len behind Heavenly Kiss carrying 57.5kg at $5. Cannot be disregarded on the back of that sort of form.
