Albury tips and results

Our price $6.00 · SP $5.00 · Blaike Mc Dougall

Lord Of Valor showed promise when second on debut at Albury over 900m and returns after a long lay-off. A recent soft trial indicates fitness, and the jockey change to the in-form Blaike Mc Dougall is a huge plus. Barrier 1 is perfect for Albury's inside bias. The big query is the Heavy 9 surface, but if he handles it, he can feature.

She's First Lady is the only runner with genuine heavy track form, having finished third over this Albury 900m on Heavy8. At 27-1, she represents outstanding value in a race where most rivals have no wet track experience. Each-way appeal.

Heavy track suits and the inside draw helps. He'll likely run well but is more a place chance than a confident win selection.

Four Esses is a 20-start maiden but comes off her best two runs in a long time, including a close second at Leeton. Barrier 1 and the feather weight of 52kg are major positives on a track that favours inside draws. The heavy track is a query though.

Our price $3.33 · SP $6.50 · Damon Budler

Damon Budler has an outstanding record on the mare and she maps to settle handily from the inside draw. Despite the weight and class rise, she drops back to her preferred 1175-1200m range and looks the one to beat.

Altrove has a remarkable heavy track resume with 4 wins from 8 starts, and her Albury course/distance statistics are the best in the field. Despite recent poor form and a quick backup, she drops to a career-low weight of 52kg and draws ideally in barrier 2.

Lord Limerick is the form horse coming off two straight wins, but the heavy track and wide barrier are significant concerns. He has never raced on heavy and barrier 9 at Albury on a wet track is a major negative. He may have to work early to hold a forward spot, which could compromise his finish.

I'm Airborne is a consistent racer who maps well from barrier 4 and has the fitness edge with regular racing. He has won on heavy at Albury previously, which is a positive. His recent form includes a solid 2nd at Wodonga. While he may not have the upside of the top two, he should be in the finish and is a reliable place chance.

Under Wraps is a progressive galloper who handled Heavy 9 conditions to win at Wagga on June 4. The jockey is in career-best form and the horse maps to settle midfield, well placed to take advantage of a fast tempo. Barrier 8 is acceptable at Albury on heavy, and the low mileage suggests further improvement. Strongest winning chance on form and track condition suitability.

Bifurcation has the pace to take up a forward position and the jockey/trainer combination is dangerous. The query is her ability to handle heavy ground – she only raced on good/soft.

Our price $15.00 · SP $16.00 · Cassidy Hill

She won on a heavy track at Wagga Riverside and gets a significant weight drop (52kg) with a favourable barrier. Her recent fourth at Wagga Riverside on Soft6 suggests she's in reasonable order.

Our price $2.80 · SP $2.70 · Brodie Loy

Forte Cheval ticks every box for a heavy Albury Class 2. He won well in similar company last start, draws the inside peg, and has a placing on Heavy. The slow tempo and barrier 1 should allow him to lead or boxseat, giving him the ideal map to hold his position turning for home. Hard to beat.

Our price $10.00 · SP $7.50 · Quayde Krogh

Burning Issues broke his maiden on a Heavy 9 with a fighting win. The class jump is significant, but he is on an upward trajectory and carries only 55kg. The wide gate hurts, but if he can cross and find a forward spot, he may surprise.
