Mt Barker Race 1 - George Taylor Memorial Mdn
COSMIC WALTZ (3) finished off strongly from back in the pack to finish 2.3L off the winner as the race favourite at Albany. Drawn inside again today can see him much closer than last start and his run here two back was brilliant. Can knock over the maiden win here. HELLO VENETA (7) is now third-up into the campaign and showed good improvement last start at Bunbury. Out to 1300m now looks a good move based on her breeding and it wouldn't surprise to see her improve drastically. She makes plenty of appeal third-up from an inside draw. ZIOLITE (8) was no match for the winner on debut but stuck on well to finish in third on debut. Straight out in trip now and remains down in the weights after the claim. Include. SO MANY STORIES (6) can improve getting out in trip today. KILDANGAN PRINCE (4) is next best.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run took up a position near the tail 3rd of 15 at Albany Mdn on January 29 over 1230m, 2.25 len behind Huhtamaki with 56.5kg at $2.80. The run before that sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 14 at this track Mdn on January 18 over 1300m, neck behind Tidwell carrying 56.5kg at $8. Looks to have found a winnable race today.
