The first thing noticed about today’s Albany Cup is the surprise omission of country cup regular Barry’s Rabbit however upon closer inspection today is Easter Sunday - explanation noted.
Okey doke moving onto the big one - if Marachino doesn’t win it, then nearly everything else can.
Extremely wide open outside of the favourite, have a bit of soft spot for the top weights in these races ( there absolutely thrown in @bomber ) so just for the sake of taking on the favourite something small on all three - numbers 1, 2, 3 Touch Of Silver, He’s A Parker, Push To Pass.
He’s A Parker his last win was the Pinjarra Cup in April 2019 it’s been a long road to hoe since. Let’s go again.
Touch Of Silver he’s been soldiering on ok.
Push To Pass the other old grey well we need a bit of luck there.

Would run over the dash in the two year old races and often be just getting warm as the winner crossed the line.
Apollo $5 - drops 6kg from last start when running on well. Before that, carried nothing for the first time in a while and duly saluted. Back to this weight, drawn well and great track/distance stats is a great each way play
Push to Pass $9 - I cannot have Marrochino at $2. I'm looking up the top (@Ridersonthestorm33) and I am planted firmly in the Push to Pass camp. Was to me a better run in the Esperance cup than Touch of Silver, who will have to carry more weight today than on that ocassion. PTP gets 3.5 kg off ToS and the extra distance and track stats are all on its favour. PTP went around for a look last start at 1400m, was never a hope in that company over that distance.

Hmmmm that’s a worry, sounds suspiciously the same as heading home from Gloucester Park after the last race on a summers night in the 80’s and 90’s 8-X

They were all decent drifters in the market, not surprising!
