Albury - Race 3 2:55pm AEDT

No. 7 Triumphant Tonic

Triumphant Tonic is third up and ready to win today at Albury.

The Almanzor gelding finished on the placegetters’ heels over 1200m when resuming this time before working home well into second over 1400m at his latest.

Fitter third-up and getting further out in trip today, he can begin his rise through the grades.

No. 3 Lightning Lizard

Another galloper that looks ready to win today at Albury is Lightning Lizard in Race 3.

The Ben Brisbourne-trained gelding was well beaten at Wangaratta first-up from a spell, but took improvement into a stronger effort to finish third, beaten two lengths at Wagga last time out.

With further improvement and in what looks to be a weaker race today, he might not be offered a better opportunity to win.

No. 3 Hellberg

Hellberg takes winning form into this contest and looks capable of making it two in a row.

The Hellbent gelding turned in some fine performances in metro company first and second up this time before breaking his maiden with complete ease in the country, last time out.

He’s hard fit and something like this looks the next logical target.

No. 4 Baggage Handler

Baggage Handler is the one for me in the last at Albury.

Baggage Handler hasn’t been seen at the races since July, but he turned in some fine performances during his debut season and found form around some credible opposition.

A couple of recent trial performances add confidence ahead of this very winnable race.
