Albury (NSW) – Good 4
R1 – The Essential Utensil Country Boosted Maiden Plate (1175m)
Analysis
A tricky maiden that may not produce strong future form. TASSY FOX (7) has been consistent this prep with two placings from three starts and looks ideally placed on the quick back-up. MY MATE ELVIS (4) comes from a capable stable and has claims. BABY DAISY (5) should improve second-up and can run into the money. TWICE AS QUICK (8) wasn’t far away fresh here and can feature again.
Selections
7. Tassy Fox (3) – $1.95
4. My Mate Elvis (9) – $9.00
5. Baby Daisy (2) – $4.80
8. Twice As Quick (4) – $10.00
R2 – MLM Electrical Contractors Country Boosted Class 2 Handicap (1000m)
Analysis
Small field but competitive. NARCISSIST (1) has been racing well with three placings from four runs this campaign and was narrowly beaten here last start, clearly the one to beat. SCREEN SPIRIT (5) resumes without blinkers and could surprise. APPLE CIDER (8) maps well and is a proven second-up performer. INAGURATE (9) returns from a break and could sneak into the placings at odds.
Selections
- Narcissist (2) – $3.10
- Screen Spirit (5) – $7.00
- Apple Cider (1) – $17.00
- Inagurate (9) – $151.00
R3 – Southern Asset Services Maiden Handicap (1000m)
Analysis

INITIATE (3) resumes off a long spell but has trialled and is a major threat. LETHAL LION (2) went close first-up and can improve again. PRINCESS PRUSSIA (6) comes from a strong yard and can bounce back.
Selections
9. Needawinna (1) – $7.50
3. Initiate (4) – $2.60
2. Lethal Lion (5) – $9.00
6. Princess Prussia (2) – $6.00
R4 – Allure Lash & Beauty Bar Class 1 & Maiden Plate (2000m)
Analysis
BRAVO SIX (7) has been racing consistently this prep and looks well placed stepping out again on the quick turnaround. DISTILLERY (1) brings solid Victorian form and must be respected.

Selections
7. Bravo Six (13) – $4.80
- Distillery (10) – $2.20

Analysis
OLATUNDE (7) has trialled well leading in and looks nicely placed fresh. DITTERICH (4) is a proven Albury performer and appeals each-way. FOURTHTIMELUCKY (9) has recent winning form and shouldn’t be dismissed. JESTERS AWARD (11) can bounce back despite a disappointing last run.
