Race preview

Welcome to Albury for the Christmas Race Day Packages On Sale Mdn Hcp over 1175m on a good4 track with fine weather. The local punters have been looking closely at the form ahead of a competitive maiden battle, with Tungamah Tess heading the win market order. Closely following at the top of betting are Bar La La, Brucedale, and Slater's Boy, setting up a fascinating puzzle for racegoers hoping to jag a winner before the festive season kicks off.

Taking a look behind those shorter prices reveals some intriguing narratives. Brucedale, prepared by P J Morgan and steered by Carly Frater from barrier 10, resumes from a lengthy break of over 500 days, though glowing notes point to plenty of upside after three recent trials and some previous experience under the belt. Meanwhile, Bar La La kicks off a second campaign from barrier one for trainer C D Widdison with Cory Parish in the saddle, backed by encouraging trial efforts including a recent spin right here at Albury, suggesting the stable change could spark an immediate forward showing.

Further down the order, Craig Weeding's newcomer Tungamah Tess commands attention from barrier five with Jake Duffy taking the steer following an easy trial win at Wangaratta. With speed maps indicating early pace runners like Slater's Boy and Bar La La will look to use their early speed to advantage on this circuit, tactical positioning will be vital. Punters hunting value might also eye off the debutants and trial form as this field of maidens sorts itself out across the 1175m trip.

Resuming (77-weeks). Safely contained at Wagga on debut when crunched in betting 1 May 2025. Experience gained. Strengthened ahead of latest prep with 3 trials. Has plenty of upside from that performance. In the mix.

ILB

Fresh today after a 77 week break. At $4.80 finished 6th last start at Wagga. Can show a better performance this time and was a debutant last start. Capable of winning this.

Came up a bit short on his debut (5f, Wagga) at 13-5 18 months ago; runs for only the second time in a handicap but been off the track a long time; could improve from his debut but will need to.

RSIS

Resuming after a break of 77 weeks. Started 4/1 and ran 6th last time at Wagga. Should improve here and having second career run. Definitely worth considering.

Trials (2:0-0-0). 4yo gelding making debut out of a 5-time winning mare Yankee Eyes. Two modest trials ahead of race day. Drawn deep but market watch advised.

ILB

4yo by Prized Icon having first start for Craig Widdison. Has not placed in all barrier trials. Betting is the best guide.

Running for the first time; related to Capitol Hill, winning form over 7f-1m2f; gelded already; can figure as some good aspects to his profile.

RSIS

First time at the races 4yo by Prized Icon for Craig Widdison. Has not placed in all trials. Watch for a sign in the market.

Unable to make an impression at Canberra. Others carry more punch.

ILB

Started at $7.00 and kept chasing when 4th last run at Canberra. Watch for a sign in the market.

Finished fourth, beaten a fair way (Canberra) two weeks ago in a maiden; winless in six starts but has shown promise with second his top showing but patchy form recently; hard enough to fancy.

RSIS

Started at 6/1 and improved late to finish 4th last time at Canberra. Not at all out of this race.

Well down the track this venue on debut at cricket score odds. Looks in need of more racing.

ILB

Jumped at $101.00 and looked outclassed when 13th last time at the track but having second race start. Likely to get back in the run. Unlikely to go close.

Some way behind the seventh, Cookardinia Miss, in course maiden over 4½f when beaten on his debut at 100-1 two weeks ago; hard to see him getting off the mark second time up.

RSIS

Started at 100/1 and didn't threaten when 13th last time at the track but was a debutant last start. Might be ridden for luck. Has a positive stall.

AAP

Let-up (81-days). Failed to stamp himself on the race at Gundagai debut as a betting firmer 4 Aug. Has a tricky draw for return. Has work to do and others more fancied here.

ILB

Racing fresh after a break. Jumped at $7.50 and ordinary performance when 7th last run at Gundagai but was on debut last time. Will be motoring home late. Strong prospects.

Held on his debut at Gundagai at 13-2 in August; this just his second run in a handicap; one to consider as he should benefit from that experience and had excuses last time (hampered).

RSIS

First run back from a break. Odds of 13/2 and below par when 7th last start at Gundagai but fitter for debut run. Should get going late. Strong claims.

5 weeks since last run. Well down the track at Wodonga on debut at wide odds. Big lift needed from there.

ILB

Jumped at $91.00 and weakened to finish 11th last time at Wodonga but having second career run. Interesting gear change of blinkers on first time. Likely to get back. Minor chance.

Tailed off on debut at Wodonga at 80-1 last month; will need to progress to get off the mark.

RSIS

Started 90/1 and folded up in the straight when 11th last start at Wodonga but fitter for debut run. Interesting to see the blinkers go on for the first time.

Fronting up for second campaign (31-weeks). Ex Ben, Will & Jd Hayes in Victoria. Two trials since, latest at Albury 10 Oct. Can hit the ground running for new stable off the lengthy break.

ILB

Racing fresh after a break of 31 weeks. Jumped at $7.00 and performed below standard when 9th last time at Swan Hill. Capable of a strong comeback. Strong claims.

Held in ninth in a maiden at Swan Hill in March; lightly raced with this just her third appearance; runs for a new trainer here; returns from a layoff; likely player if finding progression from her early experience.

RSIS

First run back from a 31 week break. Started 6/1 and underperformed when 9th last run at Swan Hill. Capable of a strong comeback and drawn by the rails. Winning potential.

Third run now in new stable/region. Battled to make a major impact. Raced in back half and never likely this course. Best viewed as a rough place hope.

ILB

Was $101.00 and didn't find the line when 12th last run at this track but suited by the weight drop. Facing a difficult task today.

Still looking to open her account after five runs; finished towards the rear of 14 14 days ago in a maiden; may have to settle for supporting role.

RSIS

Odds of 100/1 and was well beaten when 12th last start here but will benefit with the weight drop.

Let-up (65-days). Finished out the back at Warrnambool when smashed in the betting. Can play a role fresh in this company.

ILB

Had a break from racing and returns to competition. At $10.00 mediocre performance when 7th last time at Warrnambool but dropping weight. Rough hope.

Yet to manage better than fifth in her five races; found life tough when 12l back in seventh (Warrnambool) in August in a maiden; makes limited appeal.

RSIS

Racing fresh after a break. Odds of 9/1 and unsatisfactory performance when 7th last time at Warrnambool but gets a reduction in weight.

Trials (1:1-0-0). $20k purchase. Out of a half-sister to Listed winner Raphie's Choice. Looked on point with an easy trial win at Wangaratta. J Duffy on from trials. Well placed to make an early impression.

ILB

Craig Weeding trained 3yo by Cosmic Force having first race appearance. Success in a trial at Sportsbet-wangaratta on Oct 7th. Watch betting.

Stable has had a debut winner recently; running for the first time; a leading contender as some good aspects to her profile.

3yo debutant by Cosmic Force for Craig Weeding. Winner in a trial at Sportsbet-wangaratta on Oct 7th. Watch the market moves.

Odds correct as at Sat 24 Oct, 4:20 pm AEDT. Odds can change.
