When | Monday, July 8, 2024 |
First Race | 12:25pm AEST |
Visit Dabble |
Albury Racing Club is the destination for country racing on Monday afternoon, with an ultra-competitive eight-part program set for decision. The rail is out +5m between the 1100m to 350m markers, while the remainder is out 3.5m the rest of the way around. The sunny skies forecast in the lead-up should have the track firming from the Heavy 8 rating at the time of acceptances. However, with more rainfall likely to hit the course proper on race-day, expect the track to return to the Heavy range prior to the opening event at 12:25pm local time.
Albury Best Bet: Ditterich
After being transferred from Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott to the Andrew Bourke barn, Ditterich returns from a 128-day spell. His provincial form in Sydney reads well heading into this event, with a minor placing behind Bonita Queen at Hawkesbury on February 13 before a second-up failure left the son of Exceed And Excel retreating to the paddock. He returns without an official barrier trial and a gelding operation, so you do need to take him on trust, but with superior form compared to some key rivals, Ditterich is worth the risk in this wide-open country maiden.
Best Bet
Race 2 – #2 Ditterich (8)
3yo Gelding | T: Andrew Bourke | J: James Innes Jnr (59kg)

Next Best: Cooee
Cooee is on deck for a hat-trick of wins, all of which have come at this course since debuting on May 20. He was impressive on debut before stepping up to the 1400m second-up, dispatching his rivals by a half-length. The five-year-old still possesses plenty of upside heading into this BM58 contest, and although Matthew Cahill will need to steer him to victory with 62.5kg on his back, Cooee should have the class to get the job done.
Next Best
Race 6 – #1 Cooee (4)

Best Value: Dalroshio
Despite being beaten a combined 12.4 lengths across her two starts to kick off the campaign, Dalroshio warrants plenty of respect at the each-way odds available with horse racing bookmakers. She returns to the clockwise way of going, which is where her only win came last preparation at Wagga on January 26. She’ll strip a lot fitter third-up into the preparation, and with apprentice hoop Holly Durnan taking 2kg off with the claim, Dalroshio looks perfectly placed to make an impression in this BM58 affair.
Best Value
Race 7 – #5 Dalroshio (8)
4yo Gelding | T: Erin Maher | J: Jack Martin (56.5kg)
