Albion Park Thursday preview & betting tips | February 8, 2024
Albion Park is set to host a 12-race program on Thursday night from 6:13pm local time. Two fifth-grade heats over 600m will headline the meeting, with the likes of Cash It In, Dixie Gambles, Scarlatti and Spiderbait all in action. Here are ARG's free Albion Park greyhound racing tips for February 8.
Race 9: Magistrate (7)
Magistrate has been racing in a rich vein of form, including a runner-up finish in the Group 1 Gold Bullion and a brave run last Thursday to place third. This best-eight contest lacks depth and he maps incredibly well. Mr. Springtime in box eight won't hinder him early, while he has a vacant box inside and Another Chance in box five wanting to find the fence. Expect Magistrate to zoom across the pack and prove hard to run down.

Race 4: Hidden Agenda (2)
Hidden Agenda returned from a five-week break on Sunday with an eye-catching third behind Caramel Queen in 19.83. Prior to this, he was racing against the likes of Father Rick and Icy Eyes, who were both in red-hot form. He enters this 600m contest on the fresh side and has the box speed to settle either just off Little Critter or cross her heading past the post the first time. Blue Hornet appears to be racing flat and will need to get back to his best to challenge Hidden Agenda.

Race 7: Amendola (3)
Amendola steps down to the 600m and appears well placed to score a much-deserved win. In recent starts, she has raced against the likes of Sanisha, Scintillate and Valpolicella, who were all heavily in the market for last Thursday's Group 1 Gold Cup. She now lines up against inferior opposition and should have no troubles finding the top with risky beginners Blazing Smoke and Spiderbait drawn inside her. From there, she will prove hard to run down.
