Albion Park Race 2

Nutrien Equine Trotters Rating Handicap

Stake: $10,032

SHEZA CHANCE (9) placed when off a let-up two back then improved to score last week, coming from the 50m mark to get home by 4 metres at this circuit and distance. Starts 20m closer to the front markers. Can win again. IGNITE (6) is racing well at this circuit having scored two starts ago before finishing third at his latest appearance. He too is better served at the handicap this time. Big chance. MORE SURPRISES (4) was midfield when well fancied last start but had looked close to win when placed at her previous two so is worth another chance. MY RUMOUR HAS IT (3) could show her best from this more favourable handicap.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Ignite at this track over 2138m in a 3yo+ NR up to 55 on April 1 at $51. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Sheza Chance at this track over 2138m in a 3yo+ NR up to 55 on April 8 at $34. One of the chances.

Before that 8th (Fr5) over 1660m after showing early pace at this track beaten 30 m by Thebestbourbon (2:01.10) in NR up to 60 on April 4 at $19. Seemingly has forgotten how to win so others preferred.
