Cracking tempo with Alberta Bound and Very Good leading the way. Former Victorian galloper AVENUE MONTAIGNE (2) is having her first run for the new stable but should find this easier than what she faced down south. Maps ideally for this contest from gate two and makes plenty of appeal in her new surrounds. ALBERTA BOUND (4) loves this sprint journey with three wins and two placings from just six attempts and will be high on confidence following that dominant last-start Mackay win. Has to be included in calculations. VERY GOOD (7) has won three of six overall and looks a must for the multiples. ESPRIT LAD (6) is a last-start victor who shouldn't be slept on. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 2,4,7,6.
