Form Analysis: Albion Park May 27

RACE ONE

With his best work coming from the mobile, GUNNER (5) looks to have found the opportunity to capitalise. Searching for a hat-trick after arriving in Qld off the back of successive Menangle mobile mile victories, he was wide off the track and chasing when midfield. His early speed is a big plus.

KENNY KEKO (2) is a newcomer to Qld, leaving the Shaky Isles as a last start Addington winner at the standing 2000m. With a previous win under mobile conditions to her name and a tidy local trial in readiness for her first appearance in the Sunshine State, she stays under watch.

HELLO JOLENE JOLENE (3) was trying to make some late metres from the 30m tape here last start but could not go with them as MAJESTIC HARRY arrived. The big query is this will be her first attempt at the mobile.

NATTY PAGGER (9) is moving closer to his first win in Qld with some handy performances and was closing out nicely here last start to grab the silver. Trailing through he can feature once again.

RACE THREE

The early positioning will be key for DANCINTOTHEBEAT (4) but if she can be close enough, she has the speed and the class to be the danger. Snagged back from gate 5 last start, she was runner-up in both previous starts including to GIRL FROM OZ in the APG Consolation. Look for her charging home.

ZARAS A TREASURE (1) was a Redcliffe winner four starts back when firing off the arm and taking them all the way. Placed in all three since, the latest was when within 2m of A RAINBOW DANCER after settling in the 1x1 trail. From the gate she lands all the options to issue the challenge.

O B LEGAL (2) resumes from a spell to kick off his 3YO campaign after a 2YO season that returned 4 wins and 7 minors. With three trials to prepare, he has the gate to be thereabouts first up.

WILLIEWA LIGHTNING (7) faces the task from outside the front, but he did enough last start to hold on when leading throughout from gate 3. Only a half-neck away three back, he has podium claims.

SELECTIONS: DANCINTOTHEBEAT (4), ZARAS A TREASURE (1), O B LEGAL (2), WILLIEWA LIGHTNING (7)
SUGGESTED BET: DANCINTOTHEBEAT (4) to win

RACE FOUR

SCHOOBY (1) comes to headquarters where he is yet to win a race in 13 attempts, lands the ace, and boasts five successive victories at Redcliffe on his card. Pushing on from gate 5 last start to take control, he took them all the way at the 1780m. Can he fill the six-pack with his first AP success?

LIMBO LARRY (5) was beaten a half-neck at Redcliffe two starts back and then here on Tuesday proved too tough when sitting parked and grafting out the first over victory in a new PB winning rate. The smaller field will help, and he can get forward to throw it down once again.

ARCHILLES (8) has been out of luck in recent starts, not seeing the gaps when he has needed them. Following the early speed this time, he can be in a striking position to feature.

REDBANK MOLLY (4) has made errors in both Qld starts to date, the latest when never in the call after being put out of play. With a clean run, she can be an improver.

RACE FIVE

Putting together a tidy record since arriving with the Cini stable, ALL THE FOURS (5) is yet to miss a top-two finish here at The Creek. Asked to do it the tough way last start when sitting parked, he was too strong in grinding out the win.  Charging home to score three runs back, he can arrive again.

LADY ALLEGRA (1) started from inside the second line last start when trailing the leader and up the passing lane had to settle for a midfield finish when 6m in arrears of ALL THE FOURS. Making a closing raid here two starts back when beaten a head, she can be in position to challenge.

A RAINBOW DANCER (9) made the most of the chance to get to the front here last start and dictating the tempo, held on to claim victory. The gate makes it tougher, but she can feature.

SHARP SHOOTER (4) was a Redcliffe winner three starts back when sent to the front and able to dictate to an all the way win. Runner-up from outside the front line in both starts since, the improved gate is a big plus.

RACE SIX

Taking on a mare’s qualifier from gate 7 last start, TALENT TO SPARE (2) used her early speed to charge across the face of the field and set the tempo. Fighting hard into the stretch, she could not repel the challenge and finished a head from the winner. In front quickly here, she can see it out.

BITCOIN (6) is flying, his latest return full of merit from gate 7 as CAPTAIN CRUSADER was dealing in front over the 2138m trip. Snagged back from gate 5 two starts back when chasing hard behind WILL THE WIZARD, his form is all behind top opposition and he looms large despite another tough gate.

JUST ROKIN (1) was not suited when forced to sit parked last start. She should appreciate a nice run in behind the speed here and be ready to make a closing play when the gaps present.

COMMODORE JUJON (3) is never far from the action and was trying to make some closing metres along the inside last start behind CAPTAIN CRUSADER. Settling handy, he can be in the mix again.

SELECTIONS: TALENT TO SPARE (2), BITCOIN (6), JUST ROKIN (1), COMMODORE JUJON (3)
SUGGESTED BET: Exotics 1-2-3-6

 

RACE SEVEN

In what shapes as a cracking contest for a Friday afternoon, the tempo looks electric in the early stages. Despite CRUNCH TIME (7) coming up with the outside paint, he might just have enough of an edge to overcome the impediment. Searching for a hat-trick after successive wins here at the trip when leading throughout, he will have to earn this.

STREITKID (1) was a winner here four starts back where he defeated both WILL THE WIZARD and BLACKSADANCE when leading throughout in a PB 52 flat mile. The draws have been against him in three runs since, but he lands the right marble here to claim some more scalps.

WILL THE WIZARD (4) made the most of his opportunity last start when pressing on to the front from gate 4 over the 2138m and rolled in front, bringing them home in 55.1 to claim a 3m margin. He is up to the task.

INFATUATION (8) stuck to the inside last start when holding on for the bronze behind CAPTAIN CRUSADER. With the peg run, he can again be following through to look for a minor.

RACE EIGHT

With successive wins at the mile, CATSEYE BEACH (3) has been able to finish over the top of his rivals and finds a race not much tougher than both victories. Doing it tough in the early stages last start, he received cover and then finished best for a smart win. From the gate the threepeat is within reach.

POLKA DOT DANCE (1) was first up in Qld last start when tackling the Redcliffe 2040m trip from gate 1. Taking the trail, she was able to make the last dive on the wire to claim a narrow victory. With the options on offer from the pole once again, she can look to challenge.
 

FRANKIES TOOTH (8) settled in the trail last start over the 2138m trip where she eased off the back of the leader before the home corner but could not go on with it. She will be searching for openings.

JAGGERS SWAGGER (9) will take added benefit from his latest outing where he was second up from a spell. Eased from gate 4 to settle back in the pack against the poles, he didn’t really get warm but can be sharper in this.

RACE NINE

MACH BRILLIANCE (9) was beaten by gate 7 last start when retreating early and then unable to get warm over the closing stages after being sent out as the punters elect. Closing in nice order from this same gate the start prior to grab 3^rd, a solid tempo can see her arrive over the top.

JILLIBY JACKPOT (1) started from inside the second line last time out when tackling a qualifier and just lost some momentum at a critical point when the leader hoisted the white flag. Chasing in vain, it followed a 4^th when left flat footed in a sub 27 closing panel set by the leader. He is up to this.

SHEZ NOTORIOUS (4) fired off the arm from gate 6 in the fillies Breeders Classic here last start and was game in front as RACY ROXY swept on by to score. Back to the mile is ideal and she can give some cheek.

TIMZEE (10) has had two starts since crossing the Tasman, placing in both outings. Buried in the run from gate 1 last time out in a much tougher contest when grabbing 3^rd, he can make a closing play.
