Albury Race 4 - Surdex Steel Mdn Plate
HAMPE (3) Shaft gelding from a Bel Esprit mare on debut for the Peter Morgan yard. Has impressed in both trials and gets every chance from the inside gate. FORTE CHEVAL (2) returns from a let-up after coming back in trip when third over 1000m at Corowa. Proven on his home track from the good gate. YES MAXI (7) made an encouraging debut from the awkward gate when a game third over 1180m at Gundagai. Improver who can overcome the draw. Respect. BRILLIANT BEAGLE (9) never in contention from the barrier when a struggling seventh over 1000m at Tatura. Looking for this trip and worth thought. HAZ STYLES (4) has finally drawn a decent gate and desperate for this trip. Will roll forward and give plenty of cheek.

Racing well recently. Comes here off a 33-day let-up. Last start raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 10 at Corowa Mdn-Sw on November 3 over 1000m, slow going 7 len behind Calais Bliss carrying 59kg at $7.50. Before that 3rd of 11 at this track Mdn on October 25 over 1175m, 4 len behind Colombiano with 59kg at $4. This looks the ideal assignment.

Gelding by Shaft facing the starter for the first time. Has looked handy in two trials leading into this. Won a Gundagai trial over 1000m on November 15. Looks ready to go with the two good trials under his belt, hard to hold out.

Second-up. First-up after four months made significant ground from the rear of the field 2nd of 10 at Corowa Mdn-Sw on November 3 over 1000m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Calais Bliss carrying 59kg at $21. Previously second-up ran last of 10 at Wagga Mdn on July 7 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 12 len behind Donegal Bay with 57.5kg at $20. Looking to others for the winner.

Gelding back from a spell of four-and-a-half months. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last campaign fourth of 9 at Corowa Ctry Mdn-Sw July 24 over 1400m, soft track; 2.25 len behind Gioia River carrying 59kg at $2.70. First up last campaign third of 12 at Wagga Ctry Mdn May 1 over 1400m, 3 len behind Cinephile carrying 59kg at $6. Draws okay and should be thereabouts.

Dual acceptor. At debut, made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 12 at Gundagai Super Mdn on November 14 over 1180m, 1.5 len behind Showtime Kistena carrying 57.5kg at $5.50. Better for that experience and can overcome the sticky gate.

The run before that raced on the pace when 2nd of 8 at Wangaratta Mdn-Sw on November 4 over 1300m, on heavy track; long-neck behind Please Me Do with 57.5kg at $4.40. Certainly worth another chance.
