Albion Park Race 10

Garrards Horse & Hound Mares Open Pace

Stake: $18,468

GOLDEN FIRE (2) did a good job to come from a wide draw on the back row and finish fifth in the Group 1 Golden Girl last week, finishing only 6.4m behind brilliant mare Eye Keep Smiling. Well served by the class drop and should get every chance from this draw. MIKI MAGIC (4) has found the top mares too good through the carnival but she is much better placed. With racing fitness on her side she can measure up to these. JEWEL MELODY (5) is a well-performed mare who is also much better placed and could be hitting her peak third-up. AURORA JOY (3) deserves respect from a low draw having come from wider to win by 5m at this circuit and distance last start.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 5th (Sr4) over 1660m at this track, beaten 6 m by Eye Keep Smiling (1:53.40) in G1 No NR M on July 19 at $81. At the previous start 8th (Fr6) over 1660m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 8 m by Eye Keep Smiling (1:54.70) in LR No NR M on July 12 at $126. Better placed and drawn to go close.

Didn't do much at the last run, was well beaten after breaking at Redcliffe on July 18. Before that 9th (Sr3) over 1780m at Redcliffe, beaten 35 m by Rylee Rhayne Bow (2:06.10) in No NR M on June 28 at $151. Hard to have on those efforts.
