Albion Park Race 3

Racing & Sports.com Open Pace

Stake: $23,088

WISPER A SECRET (8) started a hot favourite here last start and was impressive, coming from this barrier to cruise home by 11m. Steps up to a distance where he owns a good strike rate so can go back-to-back. TIMS A TROOPER (7) continued his good form when going under by just a nose here last week. Draws wider but has only once missed the top-three in his last 10 starts so must rate highly. CLASSIE WASHINGTON (3) draws nicely and usually performs well when second-up so could progress off the fresh placing. Something for the Multiples: CLASSIE WASHINGTON NZ (3)

Well beaten last start by Wisper A Secret, who he meets again; was restrained, when 19 metres seventh at this track over 1660m in a No NR race on April 19. Cannot enthuse on what we have seen of late.

Last start 8th (Fr6) over 2138m at this track, beaten 6 m by Luvbite (2:30.40) in No NR on April 26 at $101. Two runs back 4th (Fr2) over 1660m at this track beaten 12 m by Wisper A Secret (1:53.20) in No NR on April 19 at $23. This looks far too tough.

Having his second run back from a spell. Good run despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr4) over 1660m at this track, beaten 12 m by Wisper A Secret (1:53.20) in No NR on April 19 at $15. Can be thereabouts.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following April 19 run. Just managed to hang on and win won by a nose (Fr1) at this track (2:30.40) beating Tims A Trooper in No NR on April 26 at $71. This race will be harder than that win. Will find this tougher.

Didn't do much last start, 9th (Sr2) over 2138m at this track, beaten 6 m by Luvbite (2:30.40) in No NR on April 26 at $26. Before that 6th (Fr6) over 1660m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 16 m by Wisper A Secret (1:53.20) in No NR on April 19 at $14. Must improve sharply.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow second behind Luvbite at this track over 2138m No NR last start. Before that was beaten 5 metres fifth again at this track over 1660m same class on April 12. With even luck is a winning chance.
