Albany Review Tuesday November 30th

Jockey Jess Valas resumed her career on a bright note, when riding a double for the Gerry Hughes stable at yesterdays meeting. Valas who had taken six rides over the past month after a year off had five rides at the meeting.

Race One: Jarnac came from last at the 500m to win impressivley albeit a moderate field. The five year old grey should be better suited over further ground. Desert Oak battled on gamely to be placed with Stormy Sunset running on for third. Regimental Song was an improved effort, but not a lot could be said for the beaten division.
Race Two: Second starter January Boys led and held out a late charge from favourite The Dark Side, with Sir Chewzalot a good first up third. Hallowell Star was a better run after missing the start and Beyond The Legend got home well at his debut.
Race Three: Movie World sat just off the pace and finished too strong for Noble Steed who led at a moderate pace, which did not suit the back markers. Attadale ran on fairly for third ahead of Goldtown and both are looking for more ground.
Race Four: The Tax Man racing third up took the lead after straightening and just held off Pwakkers Back who finished hard along the fence. Monsieur Blanc did not finish far away in third with Soviet Prince fading to fourth.
Race Five:  In The Move with a 3kg drop in weight followed up on a good last start effort to win in a close finish over favourite I'm Called Earl and Cho Son who was racing first up. Mr Magnificent finished off fairly for fourth, with Succesful Spin disappointing again.
Race Six: Shawaim at his second race start could not have been more impressive and raced away to win by 3 3/4 lengths easily over Bombard and Dambig. Shawaim had them beaten 250m out and was only shaken up in the last 150m.
Race Seven: Collyashell made it two from two with a good but narrow win over outsider Certain Magic with Aliento close up third. Dark Money and Kaiser Crown both ran on well to be just behind the placegetters. Fancied Eternal Advice, Megablitz and Don't Tell Toby failed to really run on. Their could be excuses for Megablitz who may have knocked in the head by a fractious horse in the barriers.
