Race preview

Welcome down to Albany for the Country Comfort Mdn over the 1000m dash, where the track is rated a Soft 7 under some lingering showers. Punters looking at the win market will find Sign Of The Times sitting right at the head of affairs, closely followed by God'll Getya, Luz Del Sol, and Dundeemicky rounding out the early market fancies for this maiden showdown.

Taking a closer look at the form behind those shorter prices, Sign Of The Times returns for a second campaign following a 20-week break, having shown an encouraging debut performance in soft going at Bunbury before tuning up with a couple of trials including a win over 600m at Albany. God'll Getya comes in fresh after a 24-week spell for trainer P B Hunter, boasting a hot jockey-trainer combination and a handy trial win here over 600m, though the wider gate might test. Meanwhile, Luz Del Sol resumes from a 23-week absence for Roy Rogers, launching from barrier two with good gate speed after taking out an Albany trial.

Dpping further down into the yarn, Dundeemicky makes a fascinating debut for Stephen Sheehy following a handy trial second at Albany, with Ms L Staples keeping the ride. In the speed department, God'll Getya and Blinding Luck are marked as leaders, so expect them to try and dictate terms early on this circuit, while Sign Of The Times plays a backmarker role. It shapes as a tricky maiden puzzle for punters.

AAP

First-up (24-weeks). Close in Maiden company first-up last campaign. Tougher alley. May need this.

ILB

Resumes after a spell. Produced an eye catching run when 2nd beaten by 1L last run at this track. Should come to hand quickly. Large claim helps. Strong claims in this.

Has shown some recent improvement; finished in front of two of these here over 5½f (maiden) six months ago when not beaten far.

RSIS

Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Produced an eye catching run when 2nd beaten by 1L last time around here. Shows good early pace. Large claim helps. Nice value bet.

Resuming (24-weeks). Shown little to date. Looked in good order winning a recent trial, but may need the run after such a long break. Wasn't really up to it in his earlier campaigns but will have matured further over the long break.

ILB

First up. Was $61.00 and didn't find the line when 7th last run at this track on a heavy track and will be facing a significant drop in distance. Unlikely to feature.

Finished seventh, beaten 16l, in May upped to 7½f; he can make a bold bid.

RSIS

Resuming from break. At 60/1 didn't attack the line when 7th last time around here on a heavy track and coming back in trip.

Trials (1:0-1-0). Makes debut after a handy Albany trial. Ms L Staples stays aboard for debut. Well worth a look.

ILB

First appearance at the races 4yo by Gingerbread Man for trainer Stephen Sheehy. Watch the betting.

Conceding experience to all his rivals; sire's progeny have shown a preference for softer goings; warrants plenty of respect.

RSIS

Resuming (21-weeks). Sound claims fresh in this line-up.

ILB

Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Didn't attack the line when 7th last run at Pinjarra. Has shown early pace in races to date. Could be in the mix.

Still searching for her first win after 11 attempts; beaten a fair way when seventh over 6f at Pinjarra (maiden) in June; makes limited appeal.

RSIS

First run back after a break. Couldn't stay in touch when 7th last time at Pinjarra. Has good tactical pace and will be nicely positioned.

AAP

Resuming (41-weeks). In the minors at Albany first-up last campaign while trialling well in the lead-up. Right in this fresh in this line-up.

ILB

First up and hit the line well when 3rd beaten by 1L first up last preparation around here. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Down in distance. Risky betting proposition.

Beaten 6l (ninth) at Mt Barker over 6½f (maiden) in January when just behind Blinding Luck; easy to oppose.

RSIS

Resuming and good effort to finish 3rd resuming last preparation at this venue. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Down in trip.

First-up (32-weeks). Light on form with just one Pinjarra placing. Wasn't extended in latest Belmont Park trial 12 Oct. Keener on others.

ILB

Racing fresh after a break of 32 weeks. Odds of $21.00 and gave away some ground when 10th last time at the track and will be down in distance. Has to improve out of sight.

Finished tenth, beaten a fair way here over 6f (maiden) in March; cannot be ignored as has been on the scene in the recent past.

RSIS

Back from a 32 week break. Started at 20/1 and was well beaten when 10th last start at this track and back in trip. Carrying more weight than last time.

AAP

Returns for second campaign (20-weeks). Encouraging debut performance in soft going at Bunbury 11 Jun. Two trials since, latest at Albany 20 Oct. Effort was fair but may need some more racing.

ILB

Fresh today. Came on strongly to finish 3rd when beaten by close to 3 1/2L last run at Bunbury and having second career run. Looks like a winning chance.

Third of nine at the first time of asking (5½f, Bunbury) at 4-1 in June; entitled to have come on for that run.

RSIS

Resumes after a break. Came on strongly when 3rd beaten by almost 3 1/2L last time at Bunbury and having second career run. Drawn nicely. Expect support.

AAP

First-up (23-weeks). Switched on with a Albany trial win. Good gate speed, soft draw. Perfectly placed to make a winning return.

ILB

First up after a break. At $71.00 couldn't stay in touch when 10th last run at Belmont but challenged by weaker competitors. Should muster plenty of early toe. Prefer in a much weaker race.

Finished last of ten five months ago at Belmont Park in a conditions race; probably unlikely to trouble the principals.

RSIS

Fresh after a break. Started 70/1 and looked outclassed when 10th last run at Belmont but competing in a less challenging grade. Will be positive in the run early.

Odds correct as at Sun 1 Nov, 5:30 pm AEDT. Odds can change.
