Race comment
MAJOR MOTH (6) is shooting for a hat-trick following a last start victory as the hot favourite over 2138m at Albion Park, getting home by 6 metres after using his early gate speed to find the lead and then hold on easily to the line. Meets some better types this time in what is first run here but in his present form rates highly. CURLY JAMES (8) won at Albion Park two runs back as the favourite before after getting caught wide early finishing fourth of seven in his latest run over 1660m at Albion Park, beaten 7 metres when sent out as the favourite. Will need a bit of luck from a very wide starting position but this doesn't look as hard so he is sure to prove tough to beat. CAPTAINS KNOCK (3) is a two-time winner at black-type level who tackled a Listed event last time out and finished 2 metres third over 1609m at this track after racing three-back on the fence. Ideally drawn and can play a big role. NEVER ENDING (10) is usually thereabouts and can follow up his last start win here.

MAJOR MOTH (6) is shooting for a hat-trick following a last start victory as the hot favourite over 2138m at Albion Park, getting home by 6 metres after using his early gate speed to find the lead and then hold on easily to the line. Meets some better types this time in what is first run here but in his present form rates highly. CURLY JAMES (8) won at Albion Park two runs back as the favourite before after getting caught wide early finishing fourth of seven in his latest run over 1660m at Albion Park, beaten 7 metres when sent out as the favourite. Will need a bit of luck from a very wide starting position but this doesn't look as hard so he is sure to prove tough to beat. CAPTAINS KNOCK (3) is a two-time winner at black-type level who tackled a Listed event last time out and finished 2 metres third over 1609m at this track after racing three-back on the fence. Ideally drawn and can play a big role. NEVER ENDING (10) is usually thereabouts and can follow up his last start win here.

MAJOR MOTH (6) is shooting for a hat-trick following a last start victory as the hot favourite over 2138m at Albion Park, getting home by 6 metres after using his early gate speed to find the lead and then hold on easily to the line. Meets some better types this time in what is first run here but in his present form rates highly. CURLY JAMES (8) won at Albion Park two runs back as the favourite before after getting caught wide early finishing fourth of seven in his latest run over 1660m at Albion Park, beaten 7 metres when sent out as the favourite. Will need a bit of luck from a very wide starting position but this doesn't look as hard so he is sure to prove tough to beat. CAPTAINS KNOCK (3) is a two-time winner at black-type level who tackled a Listed event last time out and finished 2 metres third over 1609m at this track after racing three-back on the fence.

MAJOR MOTH (6) is shooting for a hat-trick following a last start victory as the hot favourite over 2138m at Albion Park, getting home by 6 metres after using his early gate speed to find the lead and then hold on easily to the line. Meets some better types this time in what is first run here but in his present form rates highly. CURLY JAMES (8) won at Albion Park two runs back as the favourite before after getting caught wide early finishing fourth of seven in his latest run over 1660m at Albion Park, beaten 7 metres when sent out as the favourite. Will need a bit of luck from a very wide starting position but this doesn't look as hard so he is sure to prove tough to beat. CAPTAINS KNOCK (3) is a two-time winner at black-type level who tackled a Listed event last time out and finished 2 metres third over 1609m at this track after racing three-back on the fence. Ideally drawn and can play a big role. NEVER ENDING (10) is usually thereabouts and can follow up his last start win here.

Race comment
MAJOR MOTH (6) is shooting for a hat-trick following a last start victory as the hot favourite over 2138m at Albion Park, getting home by 6 metres after using his early gate speed to find the lead and then hold on easily to the line. Meets some better types this time in what is first run here but in his present form rates highly. CURLY JAMES (8) won at Albion Park two runs back as the favourite before after getting caught wide early finishing fourth of seven in his latest run over 1660m at Albion Park, beaten 7 metres when sent out as the favourite. Will need a bit of luck from a very wide starting position but this doesn't look as hard so he is sure to prove tough to beat. CAPTAINS KNOCK (3) is a two-time winner at black-type level who tackled a Listed event last time out and finished 2 metres third over 1609m at this track after racing three-back on the fence. Ideally drawn and can play a big role. NEVER ENDING (10) is usually thereabouts and can follow up his last start win here.
