Form Analysis: Albion Park Mar 22

RACE ON

A rare maiden only trot to open the card where the 3YO colt AJAY VOLSTEAD (4) debuts and can look to start his career in style. Creating an impression with some smart trial performances, he is a stylish looking animal that trots cleanly.

AHUNDREDPLUS (3) is a 3YO Centurion ATM filly on debut for Daren Garrard and qualified with a tidy effort against the pacers. Early positioning will help her claims.

MULLUM DALE (2) is a gelded Majestic Son 3YO also facing the starter for the first time for trainer Daren Garrard. Out of the three-time winner Somedash, he can feature.

SELECTIONS: AJAY VOLSTEAD (4), AHUNDREDPLUS (3), MULLUM DALE (2)
SUGGESTED BET: AJAY VOLSTEAD (4) to win

RACE TWO

Looking for a win to overturn a win drought that spans almost 18 months, SPORTS BOUNTY (9) has returned some handy performances in recent outings. Snagged back for position last start before attacking the line smartly when under 5m from the winner, this looks within reach.

FLY CHEVAL (1) was looking to make a late raid at Marburg last start but was unable to make an impact with the race controlled from the front. Fading from this gate two starts back over the 2138, a return to the mile with the options gives her the chance to throw it down.

SAINT LOUIS BEAT (4) has been midfield at his past two starts, the latest when asked to hang tough when parked as JET FORCE charged out of the pack to score. Limiting the work will help.

MAN OF ACTION (7) tackled the standing start Goldstrike heats at Marburg last time out when slow off the mark and buried. Placed both prior starts here from wide gates, puts him in the mix.

SUGGESTED BET: SPORTS BOUNTY (9) to win

RACE THREE

Returning from a spell last start from gate 5, ZENA RHAYNE BOW (9) was driven hard off the arm to take control and from the front was never headed in claiming a strong 9m margin. Taking benefit from that run, she can display her class to go back-to-back.

MAHINDI (8) will be requiring a slice of luck from this gate as she looks at risk of being buried in the run. A winner at successive starts since arriving back in Qld this campaign, she finished best to score here last start from a second line gate. With the gaps she can issue a challenge.

BETTYS GOLD CLASS (4) fired out from gate 3 to set the speed last start and from the front was able to see them off with a narrow margin. Not that far away the start prior, she has claims.

FROZEN JEWEL (1) has been forced to roll the sleeves at her past two runs when sitting parked at Redcliffe. A winner three back from the trail, she can get that trip here to feature.

SELECTIONS: ZENA RHAYNE BOW (9), MAHINDI (8), BETTYS GOLD CLASS (4), FROZEN JEWEL (1)
SUGGESTED BET: ZENA RHAYNE BOW (9) to win

RACE FOUR

An open contest here with a number of live chances dependent on the tempo through the early and middle stages. BEACH ON FIRE (9) will be looking to follow through to secure position and last start was chasing the classy ZENA RHAYNE BOW. Runner up two starts back, he can arrive.

BRAEVIEW FELLA (4) was locked away on the poles here two starts back and when shaking free had the closing power to descend on them and claim a narrow victory. Too far back trying to chase against tempo last start, he can get handy to throw it down.

ROCKTIME (3) was trying to make ground wide out at Marburg last start after being faced with a second line gate. Strong to the line here two starts back behind RISK TAKER, he is in the mix.

HIGHLY RESPECTED (7) made an error from inside the second line last start that ended her chances. Using the passing lane two starts back when closing nicely, she can join in.

SELECTIONS: BEACH ON FIRE (9), BRAEVIEW FELLA (4), ROCKTIME (3), HIGHLY RESPECTED (7)
SUGGESTED BET: BEACH ON FIRE (9) to win

RACE FIVE

AURORA REASON (2) made the most of his opportunities last start when having his first Qld outing, firing off the arm from gate 5 to take control and once in front, held a 7m margin to score in good time. Tightened from that performance, he can look to step up here and repeat.

BELLA BRONSKI (4) has good speed out of the machine and last start from gate 4 was able to dart across and then take cover. Looking to make a closing raid and coming up 1m short of victory, it followed a midfield return in a Saturday night mares event. She can challenge here.

MAJORITA JUJON (5) found the ideal conditions here two starts back when descending on them to claim a 3m margin. Beaten by gate 7 last start, finding position cheaply will aid her cause.

KEAYANG TARA (9) will appreciate a return to mobile conditions after taking on the standing start last time out. Strong to the line when beaten a head here three starts back, she has claims.

SELECTIONS: AURORA REASON (2), BELLA BRONSKI (4), MAJORITA JUJON (5), KEAYANG TARA (9)
SUGGESTED BET: AURORA REASON (2) to win

RACE SIX

Completing a hat-trick of victories last start, PARTY CHANGER (10) will need to do it differently this time after all three wins have been from the front. Fired out from the mobile to lead for successive wins on this deck, he led throughout in a Goldstrike heat at Marburg last time. He looks up to the task.

JET FORCE (3) eased off the poles after starting from inside the second line last start and from the running line was able to hit the after burners in the stretch to arrive for a narrow margin. Holding on for the bronze two starts back when second up from a spell, he can throw it down.

CYCLONE TONY (9) will take benefit from his latest outing when resuming from a spell. Sent around them from the second line to sit parked and holding on for 2^nd, he can join in here.

DOOLITTLE DOOZZIE (8) was a winner here three starts back when owning the best closing speed, rounding them up and pulling clear. She will be probing for the openings.

SELECTIONS: PARTY CHANGER (10), JET FORCE (3), CYCLONE TONY (9), DOOLITTLE DOOZZIE (8)
SUGGESTED BET: PARTY CHANGER (10) to win

RACE SEVEN

The gate will mean that he will need some things to go his way, but KICKATINALONGPONY (8) has been in super form since arriving in Qld and last start completed a hat-trick of wins on this deck. Sitting parked from gate 6 and proving too tough, he can look to extend the pickets.

LUVBITE (1) has placed at his past four starts in succession, the latest when attacking the line strongly from a second line gate to be just a neck from the winner. Finding the front and then releasing here two starts back, he has all the options from the ace to issue the challenge.

AMAMI (2) was a winner here three starts back when finishing best to take a 6m margin. Placed in both runs since when not beaten far, he lands a big gate improvement from his past two.

MAJOR JELLIS (6) is back in Qld and lines up here for Ricky Thurlow after a 5m deficit last start at Bathurst behind SAINT VERAN. The wide gate stings but he is up to this.

SELECTIONS: KICKATINALONGPONY (8), LUVBITE (1), AMAMI (2), MAJOR JELLIS (6)
SUGGESTED BET: KICKATINALONGPONY (8) to win

RACE EIGHT

After three impressive wins on The Triangle, BAZ (2) will be looking to transfer that to the big deck and extend the streak. Running some strong sectionals in each of those wins, he can look to get forward and despite this being a step up in grade, can look to chalk up another W.

SIR BRIGADOON (5) will appreciate a return to HQ after chasing behind MYDADSAID at Marburg last start in a track record performance. Hitting the line nicely here three starts back for the silver, positioning cheaply will assist his chances of issuing a challenge.

ARKIN WICKED (8) resumes from a spell after a last start victory at Redcliffe when dictating in front over the 2040 trip. A big winner three starts back, he can feature fresh.

ALTA EQUUS (10) held the pocket trail last start from gate 1 and with the economical trip was able to break free and rattle lates to take a 2 margin. He can be joining in here.

SELECTIONS: BAZ (2), SIR BRIGADOON (5), ARKIN WICKED (8), ALTA EQUUS (10)

RACE NINE

With some luckless performances, the past two efforts of COLLECT A DIME (3) have been faultless in claiming a pair of impressive victories. Forcing the issue from the breeze last start, he pulled clear to an impressive 11m margin. Pulling clear to post a 19m win two back, he can chase the threepeat.

FIAS CHARM (2) was eased from gate 7 in a mare’s event last start and sitting at the rear was hitting the line smartly in the closing stages when wide off he track behind the passing lane winner DANCE ADDITION. Back in the main draw, she can look to issue a challenge.

SHES FULLOFSPIRIT (1) was given her chance at Menangle last start in the Raith memorial when striking trouble. Returning from a spell with a 3^rd to subsequent winner CHECKNOUTTHETALENT, she has the gate to make her presence felt.

CAPTAIN OF SPEED (8) has been kept fresh since her last outing when buried in the run in a strong mare’s event. Working to press forward two starts back, she will be probing.
