Albany Review Sunday February 7th


The $22,000 Weekender Bracelet saw Dark Humour cause a minor boilover holding out favourite Movie World to win for trainer paul Hunter and Jockey Takahide Ikenushi. Some of the gloss was lost with the scratching of Dark Humour’s stablemate Phormium.
Race One: Favorite backers would have been worried when Aliento was slow away, but the three year old quickly recovered and then fought off challenges to win in a tight finish and looks to have a bright future. Competitive Street again ran a solid race and is well overdue to break through, and Spiritual Leader was only went down on the line. Storm Sunset improved at his second start and Lukaston though briefly held up was never a real winning chance.

Race Two: Jockey Shaun Meeres gave favorite Eternal Advice plenty of time to settle and worked his way into the race from the 800m and came away to win well. Jordi battled on solidly and Good Girl Lucy continues to improve. Plantinum Lad ran on well and just missed the placings. Jarnac finished just behind the placings but didn’t run on as expected.

Race Three: With a slow pace on the favorite Week Bix pulled hard and it only needed Lovely Lucy to dash clear on straightening to set up a winning break with Week Bix only running on fairly. Punk’d set a moderate pace and held on to finish third.

Race Four:  Attadale who had a big pull in the weights and aided by an inside run just got the verdict over favorite Timely Reign by a nose with Esperance galloper Burnzy close up in third position. Don’t Tell Toby finished on well for fourth with Viscount Cameron and Sir Clase never really in it.

Race Five: Jockey Peter Hall dictated the terms of the race from the front leading all the way to win on the well backed Hurricane Show. Though getting weary (and entitled too) in the last 100m, the Bob Maumill trained galloper still won easily over On The Double and Mctease who improved greatly. Albany or Ascot again missed the start and King’s Tribute was just behind them.

Race Six: Lightly race Gotanygoss showed ability when running on powerfully to win at her first start at 1600m. I’m called earl finished hard to get second ahead of Commandeer who did not get the best of luck in running. Megablitz gain was not far away and Alsaah Warrior showed he is close to winning form. The first five finished well ahead of the remainder of the field.

Race Seven: Dark Humour who had failed to flatter in two Great South starts, upstaged her more favourable rivals with a fighting win over favourite Movie World who looked dour in the run to the line. Lightly raced Street Darling gave plenty of cheek and finished close up in third place. Esperance galloper Just Sue who had won her past four, never looked comfortable and struggled.

Race Eight: Redford ran right up to his first up second with an impressive win beating Son Of Thunder who finished off well out wide just ahead Show No Doubt who was impressive at his WA debut and Aintnolady close up fourth.  Pretty Often ran on well to finish fifth after Jake The Musk set a solid pace in front and wilted the last 50m to run sixth.

Race Nine: In form Carminemadonna made in four wins in a row when she jumped quickly from a wide draw and sat outside the leader before coming away to win from Donargy who was given every chance but just could not catch the winner. Versaint battled on well to finish third and Speedy Bohemian held on well after leading. The Keillor Kid again ran on well whilst favorite Saramento was in a winning position on the corner but did not finish the race off.

Time for a gripe: It’s Wednesday and no Photo Finish pictures are up on the RWWA CRIS website for the meeting held Sunday. This meeting was telecast Australia wide and for Punters to bet on these meetings all information should be available including these pictures as soon as possible.
