(Trainer) – You can’t beat box one. She should go with them and if she can keep her position on the rails around the first turn then she will have a chance. She has plenty of mid- race strength but they are all good dogs in it.

Peter Brown (Trainer) – It is a good field. I think he will go alright but we are definitely not confident of winning the race, there are too many speedsters in there. It all depends on how he gets to the first corner. He rails good, hopefully when he hits the first turn he can weave his way through.

Peter Ruetschi (Trainer) – She has been a good bitch for us. It will be a hard race for her to win, but she is in it because she has got early pace. She can’t go as quick of some of the dogs but she is there, that’s the main thing.

Darryl Chapman (Trainer) – It’s all about her start, if she gets far enough in front she wins. I don’t think the box really matters if she jumps because she will just go to the lead but if they crowd her we will have a problem.

Tom Tzouvelis (Trainer) – She is an outside chance. She will try her best but she has got an awful draw, but you have got to contend with what you have got. Her main chance is if she can lead, she can come from behind, but you can’t afford to give these sorts of dogs a start.

ARG Comment – Claimed his heat at double figure odds. The well bred chaser isn’t blessed with much early speed and will have to contend with an awkward draw. While he has plenty of ability, he will need clear galloping room and a lot of luck to cause an upset two weeks in a row.

Darren McDonald (Trainer) – I think he has got a really good chance. He is well drawn, if he can come out of the boxes well he should be right. He is very good when he gets on the bunny.

David Burnett (Trainer) – He didn’t quite box the way he needed to in his heat but he will be better for the run this week. If I had to pick what box I wanted I would have picked box eight, I couldn’t have asked for a better draw. Keybow is the main danger but there are a couple of local dogs that know the track and have early speed that can make or break the race.

ARG Opinion – Boom chaser that put in a great performance in his heat, running second to Exhibitionist. He is a slow beginner which will not help him if he gets a start but he has a copious amount of talent.

ARG Comment: Regally bred chaser which ran a solid second in his heat last week. Has plenty of talent but is yet to win over the track and distance so will need a bit of luck if he gains a start against some of these seasoned Albion Park experts.

While Keybow (7) is set to start as favourite, I think Exhibitionist (4) can land the cash if she begins like she did last week.

She has began flawlessly at her last two starts and if she can make it three in a row I think she will lead the field. Once in front, they will all have to catch her.



Keybow is the obvious danger. He should relish the wide draw and will get every chance to muster speed and circle the field going around the first turn. 



Iva Vision (2) is a class animal but he will need to bring his best box manners as he can’t afford to give these type of dogs too much of a start. 



Kiss Me Ketut (8) is aiming to go back to back in the Brisbane Cup and is drawn perfectly in box eight. He is better than his last few starts read and he is right in the race. 



You Can Talk (3) should put herself into the race early, she will need a bit of interference behind her to be able to hold on.
