Race comment
OVERVIEW: Ever since PBD (preferential barrier draw) events populated this state’s metropolitan race cards in infinitely greater numbers, trot punters hungry for cheap kills have found themselves quietly starving. And this first event illustrates the challenges they face. On National Ratings – and also probably talent – ALBY TWO CHAINS (8) is clearly the best horse engaged and SANDAY (9) likely second; but from their awkward alleys they clearly require others to set a decent. Fortunately, on this occasion, they very likely will. ALBY TWO CHAINS (8) has enjoyed two runs back from a break. In the first he flashed home off a soft trip, in the second – tackling a much tougher field than this – he led and was cruising until the diesel ran dry 120 from home. Despite driving infrequently these days, Zac Phillips remains an elite pilot and if he zigs and zags when opportunities avail, Alby rates clear as the horse they must defeat. His major threat, if that top end tempo referenced above materialises, is probably SANDAY (9) who follows out fast front-line beginner and is going much better than his figure form-line indicates though several others have winning claims depending upon how the race is run, including GHOST OF TIME (2), SPRINGFIELD AFFAIR (1), OZZIE PLAYBOY (4) and BET ON THE TIGER (3).

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Ever since PBD (preferential barrier draw) events populated this state’s metropolitan race cards in infinitely greater numbers, trot punters hungry for cheap kills have found themselves quietly starving. And this first event illustrates the challenges they face. On National Ratings – and also probably talent – ALBY TWO CHAINS (8) is clearly the best horse engaged and SANDAY (9) likely second; but from their awkward alleys they clearly require others to set a decent. Fortunately, on this occasion, they very likely will. ALBY TWO CHAINS (8) has enjoyed two runs back from a break. In the first he flashed home off a soft trip, in the second – tackling a much tougher field than this – he led and was cruising until the diesel ran dry 120 from home. Despite driving infrequently these days, Zac Phillips remains an elite pilot and if he zigs and zags when opportunities avail, Alby rates clear as the horse they must defeat. His major threat, if that top end tempo referenced above materialises, is probably SANDAY (9) who follows out fast front-line beginner and is going much better than his figure form-line indicates though several others have winning claims depending upon how the race is run, including GHOST OF TIME (2), SPRINGFIELD AFFAIR (1), OZZIE PLAYBOY (4) and BET ON THE TIGER (3).

Race comment
OVERVIEW: Ever since PBD (preferential barrier draw) events populated this state’s metropolitan race cards in infinitely greater numbers, trot punters hungry for cheap kills have found themselves quietly starving. And this first event illustrates the challenges they face. On National Ratings – and also probably talent – ALBY TWO CHAINS (8) is clearly the best horse engaged and SANDAY (9) likely second; but from their awkward alleys they clearly require others to set a decent. Fortunately, on this occasion, they very likely will. ALBY TWO CHAINS (8) has enjoyed two runs back from a break. In the first he flashed home off a soft trip, in the second – tackling a much tougher field than this – he led and was cruising until the diesel ran dry 120 from home. Despite driving infrequently these days, Zac Phillips remains an elite pilot and if he zigs and zags when opportunities avail, Alby rates clear as the horse they must defeat. His major threat, if that top end tempo referenced above materialises, is probably SANDAY (9) who follows out fast front-line beginner and is going much better than his figure form-line indicates though several others have winning claims depending upon how the race is run, including GHOST OF TIME (2), SPRINGFIELD AFFAIR (1), OZZIE PLAYBOY (4) and BET ON THE TIGER (3).
