Albury Race 5 - Boss Better Living Systems Hcp (C1)
NOVEL APPROACH (7) broke through for her maiden win over 1400m at Wodonga last time and now drops back in trip off a 56-day freshen. Lightly raced with scope for further improvement, and despite the wide draw she can go on with it. BRENLYN'S LEGACY (3) was an impressive winner over 1100m at Wodonga, leading throughout and putting a healthy margin on his rivals. Sure to run well again. SON OF ZORRO (6) hasn't won for over a year but is knocking on the door. A backmarker who gets home hard and is among the main hopes. ANNOTATE (1) resumes off an 18-week break after just a fair run last time in on a Heavy deck. Back on top of the ground for his return and he can put his best foot forward.

Resuming. Only had one start last campaign 5th of 12 at Wodonga Bm58 on August 5 over 1100m, on heavy track; 3.5 len behind Sheila carrying 57.5kg at $12. First up last campaign made ground from midfield; 3rd of 13 at Bendigo Mdn-Sw on September 25 2024 over 1300m, 1.2 len behind Second Fix with 59.5kg at $11.

Second-up. Promising on debut held ground to the line 2nd of 7 at Wodonga 2yo Hcp on May 24 over 1200m, on a slow track; 2 len behind Impending War with 58kg at $21. Went for a spell before returning won by 2.75 len at Wodonga Mdn-Sw November 28 over 1100m defeating Wingsandpropellers carrying 58kg at $3.90. Big chance to make it back-to-back wins. Back in great shape and is sure to measure up.

Racing well recently. Most recently 3rd of 14 at Wangaratta 0 - 56 on December 6 over 1100m, 2 len behind Kaniva with 58.5kg at $5. The start before that ran on strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 11 at Wagga Bm50 on November 29 over 1000m, long-neck behind Sheridan Street with 62.5kg at $6.50. Knocking on the door and deserves his chance.

Most recently second last of 11 at this track Cl1 on December 6 over 1175m, 10 len behind Divron carrying 55.5kg at $41. Before that did the work up front then tired 10th of 12 at this track Bm58 on November 24 over 1175m, 5.5 len behind Jaskier carrying 57.5kg at $31. Disappointing form likely to continue.

Last start 6th of 11 at this track Bm58 on December 6 over 900m, 1.4 len behind Magna Mak carrying 55.5kg at $41. The run before that raced behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 11 at Wodonga 0 - 56 on November 9 over 1100m, 14 len behind Kattegat carrying 58.5kg at $41. Difficult to recommend.
