The Albion Park Harness Racing Club will play host to a strong nine race program this Saturday night.

And the opening race has attracted an even field of 12 pacers with several in-form runners set to contest the UBET Pace over the 1660m.

In what shapes as an extremely open affair, punters will find value but the ideally drawn Likeallofus will command plenty of attention after landing gate three.

Prepared by leading trainer Vicki Rasmussen and handled by top reinsman Shane Graham, the Famous Forever gelding will be looking for back to back victories following his all the way effort last week.

Graham was recently announced as Australia’s representative in the upcoming World Drivers Championship which takes place throughout Canada in August.

The well-drawn pair of Major Kiwi (gate 1) and Polished Rocks (gate 3) loom as obvious threats with both boasting solid recent form.

Others to consider include Sammys A Kriden, Simply Gorgeous and Dabeers Zargon.

The $15,540 Kevin & Kay Seymour Rising Stars Championship also looks an extremely open affair following the heats staged earlier this week.

Levi Jade scored at massive odds in the first heat while classy mare Zaras Delight fought back strongly to claim the second heat.

Leading trainer Grant Dixon has four runners engaged including Guys Bettor Bet, Outlaw Fella, Rocknrollhighlight and Cherish The Moment.

The Rising Stars Finals is listed as race two on the card.

Another highlight is the Rio Meteor Sulky Open Pace which features several talented and in-form pacers over the flying mile distance.

Track specialist Destreos has drawn the inside gate and will prove hard to beat at his pet distance.

Gambling giant UBET are offering several jackpots throughout the program including a guaranteed $50,000 First 4 pool on the opening race plus a $10,000 jackpot.

A guaranteed Quadrella of $20,000 is also slated; the quaddie will be staged on races 2, 3, 4 & 5.

Last week, the UBET quaddie dividend was in excess of $1200.

UBET have also slated $2000 jackpot trifecta pools on races 3, 4, 5 & 6.
