Kurt Burns' best plays for Albury
We're off to the NSW Riverina region on Friday, where Albury plays hosts to some quality provincial racing.
In a new initiative by the Albury Racing Club, the card is scheduled as a twilight meeting with the first race kicking off at 3.20pm and the last at 7.05pm.
The weather has been nice all week and we look set to be racing on a Good 4 surface.
The rail slides out 3m from the 800m-400m and is in the true position for the remainder of the circuit.
Albury Race 1 Tip #1 Barramundi Lad $1.75
Wodonga trainer Peter Maher saddles up the son of Lucas Cranach, who is making his fourth attempt at breaking his maiden.
He's yet to miss a place at his three career starts, managing to find one a little better on each occasion.
Last time out, he showed enough gate speed to lob behind the leader and he just couldn't find clear room late, eventually going down by the smallest of margins.
The booking of Nick Heywood tells me that Peter hasn't come up to Albury for a holiday and that he's here to win.
From the low draw, I expect Nick to position the gelding close to the speed and prove too good for them.
Albury Race 6 Tip #12 Mythical Goddess $10.00
Another Wodonga trained horse heads up to Albury to try break her maiden. in this clash.
Heath Maclean prepares this grey mare by Greenwood Lake, who looks a real smoky to win race 6.
Last time out, she was impressive when toughing it out to narrowly miss third place.
The one thing this girl has is toughness, as she possesses an ability to maintain a high speed.
Young apprentice Hannah Williams had her first ever race ride on this mare and she did a great job.
If I could get in her ear before the race, I'd tell her to jump, run and don't wait for them!
The horse is very hot and cold, so I'm happy to speck her with an each-way play at the odds as a blow-out chance.
