Albion Park is a 1000m circuit with an effective sprint lane, common race distances are 1660m and 2138m from the mobile start.
NIGHT 2 OF INTER DOMINION 2023
RACE 1 | SELECTIONS
1. Swaggie Shannon
6. Commodore Jujon
2. Kash Us Back
7. Its Mr Clooney
Betting Strategy
Swaggie Shannon is honest as the day is long, a little sit sprinter that tries his best every single start. If able to secure the leaders back trip in-transit he presents as a logical place bet to start the night.
BACK: Swaggie Shannon (PLACE) Rated at $2 
RACE 2 | SELECTIONS
8. Swayzee
2. Speak The Truth
1. Pete Said So
12. Cantfindabettorman
Swayzee has taken all before him for the Hart / Grimson combination, despite the tricky gate he has the weapons to overcome and remain undefeated. The step up in trip suits perfectly and there looks plenty of tempo early.
Rock N Roll Doo comes up with another horror gate that he looks to have to work overtime again, expecting he gets forward early here but there should be no lead for him.
Betting Strategy
LAY: Rock N Roll Doo (PLACE) Up to $2.5 
RACE 3 | SELECTIONS
11. Better Eclipse
7. Nerano
1. Turn It Up
3. Tims A Trooper
Better Eclipse was sublime in opening his ID23 account, again Greg Sugars will drive the race as it presents. He can win with any race shape and appears to be going as well as ever.
Turn It Up holds the key to the race shape, not actually sure who will be leading at the bell.
Expecting Blacksadance to be put into the contest if he works off the inside early.
Betting Strategy
BACK: Better Eclipse (WIN) Rated at $2
RACE 4 | SELECTIONS
9. Leap To Fame
1. Our Money Rocks
2. Spirit Of St Louis
11. Hot And Treacherous
Our Money Rocks draws to perfection, he savaged the line late in the opening round. I expect him to sit on Spirit Of St Louis who looks early leader. More than likely Louis will release Leap To Fame if he gets around early enough. From 3 pegs he can zip into the placings.
Can't see how they beat Leap To Fame, he is at the peak of his powers.
Betting Strategy
BACK: Our Money Rocks (PLACE) Rated at $1.6
RACE 5 | SELECTIONS
1. Adelle
12. Gus
10. Constantinople
7. Ollivici
This race has all the ingredients for a boilover. Queen Elida was overrun by Plymouth Chubb after being released to the top on night one, her last 100m was a cause for concern. On the quick back up after a flat performance, a rise in trip and Funky Monkey zipping across at the start are all impediments to victory.
Not sure how Adelle will handle barrier 1, but if she puts it all together then she is a winning hope.
No runner caught my eye more than the inexperienced Gus on night 1, zooming home from the rear breaking the clock. Having just his 14th race start it might be all too soon however, but worth a small each-way snip to find out.
Betting Strategy
BACK: Gus (BACK AND PLACE) Rated at $16
RACE 6 | SELECTIONS
2. Plymouth Chubb
8. Just Believe
1. Sir Fahrenheit
10. Mufasa Metro
Plymouth Chubb and Just Believe will dominate this heat.
Sir Fahrenheit draws to camp on Plymouth Chubb, from here he can finish on the podium.
Does Just Believe work clear of the pocket? Makes it hard to take the short quote.
Betting Strategy
BACK: Sir Fahrenheit (PLACE) Rated at $1.8
RACE 7 | SELECTIONS

9. Hay Bale Hustler
1. Dennis The Punter
Betting Strategy

Betting Strategy
BACK: Hugo George (WIN) Rated at $2.5
RACE 9 | SELECTIONS
2. Leithen Burn
4. Offyarocka Crocker
6. Bangkok Deejay
1. Betting Origin
Leithen Burn is racing well, he looks to get every chance in the van for Nathan Rothwell.
