One Too Many, Brallos Pass and Egodan among leading fancies for Albury Pacers Cup

Several talented Victorian raiders will make the trek to Albury including One Too Many (Russell Jack), Allshookup and Boy From Bondi (Wayne Potter) and Brallos Pass (Mark Watson).

Brallos Pass is already a dual winner of the Border's richest harness race in 2018-19 and will attempt to win the race again for a third time as a nine-year-old.

Recent Interdominion winning trainer Jason Grimson will also target the race with Egodan.

Egodan will be partnered by former local driver James McPherson who will make the trek from Sydney.

Club president Paul Brown said the feature should prove a good spectacle over the marathon trip with most horses in the race genuine winning hopes.

"It's a strong cup field with a lot of quality runners," Brown said.

"Brallos Pass thrives on the longer trip and will be striving for a third win in the feature.

"One Too Many is resuming but will be hard to beat if he is fit enough.

"Jason Grimson is sending Egodan down from Sydney and he is a nice horse who drops in class compared to his recent runs.

"It should prove to be a good betting race with support for most of the runners.

"There are eight runners which is a bigger field than all the other Carnival of Cups fields that we have had in the Riverina lately."
