We head to Albury for a competitive 8 race card.
The track is currently rated a Soft 6, with the rail out 5m from the 1500m-350m, before the cutaway applies.
At this setup, I expect the track to play fair, affording all runners their chance.

Back his HOT Bets for today's racing here!
Albury Race 3 #12 Lunar Shoes $3.90
This 2YO by Odyssey Moon was slowly away from a wide barrier last start, before finishing off well.
That was over 1000m and the slow start looked by design, so I'm not too concerned he'll do the same today.
He steps up to 1182m today, and given how well he run through the line, he looks well suited today.
From barrier 7, he'll be ridden as he jumps to most likely sit just forward of mid-field, before peeling off heels and flying late.
Albury Race 8 #8 Allez Brew $21.00
This looks like the value bet of the day!
She's been slowly building to a big run this prep and her last start 4th has her primed for today.
The drier track today is ideal, she's reached her peak fitness, retains Simon Miller and maps ideally.
From barrier 5, I expect her to sit on-pace and give a huge sight at big odds.
Regardless of the result today, she's one to follow the remainder of her prep.
