GOING: G(4)

MARTINS TRAVEL ALBURY CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 20)   Rail: True.  

Dawn On Me is expected to lead at a keen tempo. SHE'S ELUSIVE (7) got off the mark impressively here last time after a good first-up effort. Is open to further improvement third-up and is a big chance to go back-to-back. DAWN ON ME (4) displayed plenty of early toe and didn't give her rivals a sniff when leading pillar-to-post to shed her maiden tag first-up. Has clearly come back in great order and should look to give another bold sight. BIFURCATION (5) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 900m at Muswellbrook, scoring by a head. Is open to further improvement third-up and cannot be underestimated. SIZZLEIST (1) rarely finishes far away from the action and continues to hold strong market support. Kept fresh with 33 days in between and is among the main hopes again. BLUE MOON SUMMIT (2) should be nearing his peak now and is drawn to advantage. Expect him to make his presence felt. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with She's Elusive.
