Form Analysis: Albion Park November 25

RACE ONE

A Jarrod Alchin trained debutant that ships in from Sydney, MY ULTIMATE DIEGO (3) arrives off the back of an impressive trial performance at Menangle. A son of the boom stallion Always B Miki, the colt will also have the services of top reinsman Cam Hart for his first appearance.

 DONT ASK AGAIN (1) was runner-up on debut after holding the trail from this same gate and finishing 7m astern of the winner SON OF XENA. Starting from inside the second line last start, she was not too far away and with the right trip here can issue a challenge.

 TOMMY TIME (2) made a costly error last start when resuming from a spell. Returning to the trials with a smart hit out, if he puts it together from this gate he can feature.

 MAYWYN VALENTINO (4) was hitting the line smartly last start, looming strongly only to be nabbed in the closing strides by FOURTY ONE GEE. He will be thereabouts again here.

SELECTIONS: MY ULTIMATE DIEGO (3), DONT ASK AGAIN (1), TOMMY TIME (2), MAYWYN VALENTINO (4)
SUGGESTED BET:

RACE TWO

After two runs back from a spell where she has tackled mobile conditions in each, YSMIR (4) looks well placed from the 10m tape in this set up. Left flat when the speed went on at the 600 last start, she continued to grind it out to the line. A smart start can see her capitalise.

 WHIRLWIND WILBUR (7) was runner-up again last time, having now finished top two in six of his past seven. Finishing 3m astern of the winner MORE SURPRISES, the start prior he was making a late play when 4m from LIZZIES SON. With a similar trip, he can challenge again.

 CROOKWELL EYES (8) was a Marburg winner four runs back when weaving a passage to the wire. Unplaced in all three since, the efforts have been solid and he can chase minor money.

 VOLTAIN (3) was not too far away last start when finishing 4^th behind MORE SURPRISES. That ended a streak of five successive minor placings, and she can be around the money again

 SUGGESTED BET: YSMIR (4) to win

RACE THREE

The first of four Peak of The Creek heats where speed is essential, with the fastest heat winner having first choice of barriers for this Saturday’s Final. WAIKAKA MAGIC (7) has the tough gate but is a speedy 3YO that has already punched out a 1.51.8 mile from this same gate earlier in the season back in April, he opened the pipes with a recent trial to prepare for this first up.

 BALTUSROL (4) lines up for the visiting Chris Judd barn that had success at Redcliffe on Saturday night with a winning double. A five-time winner, he has good speed off the arm and can look to find a handy position and near the speed can issue a challenge.

 REDS ABLAZE (3) was always facing a task here on Friday when trying to make a dent on the lead of COOL AND CLASSY. Chasing home that same jet the start prior, she can chime in.

 BLACKJACK CRIPPA (2) has been runner-up at his past two, the latest when drawn the second line. With good early speed, he can get handy to chase a podium return.

SELECTIONS: WAIKAKA MAGIC (7), BALTUSROL (4), REDS ABLAZE (3), BLACKJACK CRIPPA (2)
 SUGGESTED BET: WAIKAKA MAGIC (7) to win

RACE FOUR

Moving into barrier one will be a big advantage in heat 2 for STILLYOURSHOT (2) which makes his first appearance under race conditions after arriving from the deep south of NZ. A 5YO winner of three, he ranks as a half to the impressive FERNCO NEL and has trialed sharply in preparation.

 DAISY DIANA (7) was first up in Qld last time out when sent to the post deep into the red from this gate owing to an ODM embargo. Pressing forward to work to the front, she held on for a 2m margin. Despite the wide gate, she looks to have the speed to issue a challenge.

 EXCLUSIVE HUSTLER (8) should secure the ideal trip from this gate and will be ready to take his show when the gap presents. Dictating in front last start with a PB win, he will be probing.

 SIR RICHARD LEE (3) is a winner in two of his past three, both victories secured at Redcliffe. Producing a slick rate with the last start victory, he has good speed to get forward early.

SELECTIONS: STILLYOURSHOT (2), DAISY DIANA (7), EXCLUSIVE HUSTLER (8), SIR RICHARD LEE (3)
 SUGGESTED BET: STILLYOURSHOT (2) to win

RACE FIVE

Completing a third successive victory here last start, OUR DICKIE BART (5) was able to overcome an outside second line gate to chalk up the threepeat. Finishing best from inside the second line the start prior, he finds conditions no harder to make it four on the bounce.
 
 MARDIBRINGSAPARTY (3) was forced to sit parked last start at 2138 after working around from outside the second line. Fading after the tough trip, she was a passing lane winner here two back and a return to the mile can see her issue the challenge.
 
KASH TIN (6) faces an awkward gate but the smaller field in this grade will be a benefit. Setting the tempo when out of tickets in the stretch two starts back against stronger opposition, he has claims here.

 DEE TERROR (4) faced a second line gate and was always up against tit as SON OF A SHARK stomped out a huge mile in front. Not too far from FITZROY the start prior, he has claims here.

SELECTIONS: OUR DICKIE BART (5), MARDIBRINGSAPARTY (3), KASH TIN (6), DEE TERROR (4)
 SUGGESTED BET: OUR DICKIE BART (5) to win

RACE SIX

Getting it all wrong at the start last time out, HUXTON (4) finished at the rear as FERNCO NEL powered up with a sub-50 mile. Returning to the trials to remove the ODM embargo, he has the gate and the talent to capitalise if he can put it all together.

 THE RASCAL (8) will have the second line options to throw down the challenge after his first defeat since crossing the Tasman came from this gate last time out. Buried away and then facing mission impossible behind FERNCO NEL, his three successive victories prior, put him right in this.

 RUBY RULES (7) is given no favours from this gate and is on the short back-up after hitting the line strongly for the silver behind COOL AND CLASSY last time out.

 RAKASANDY (6) eased from the wide gate last time out and then went to the line searching for gaps that never arrived. Grabbing the bronze to LULU MAE two back, he is a podium hope.

SELECTIONS: HUXTON (4), THE RASCAL (8), RUBY RULES (7), RAKASANDY (6)
 SUGGESTED BET: 

RACE SEVEN

First up in Qld when tackling the mile here last time out, CHEERSTOLOU (3) was put into attack mode from outside the second line to power to the front. Keeping the speed on throughout, he stopped the clock in 1.50.8. With added fitness and the front line, he looks hard to stop.

 UDDERLY SWEET (7) was first up since August when darting across to find the poles from gate 4 and then taking cover as FERNCO NEL set a sub-50 mile. Runner-up to FRENCH FRIES in the Triad at his last run the previous campaign, the gate makes this a tough ask.

 BROOKFIELDS BEAUTY (1) backs up from Redcliffe on Saturday night where she secured victory in a mare’s qualifier. Taking the trail and finishing best, she will be probing again here.

 BRAVENTREACHEROUS (6) held the front from the inside gate last time out and was never in danger with a 4m margin. The wide gate makes it a tough ask to continue his consistency.

SELECTIONS: CHEERSTOLOU (3), UDDERLY SWEET (7), BROOKFIELDS BEAUTY (1), BRAVENTREACHEROUS (6)
 SUGGESTED BET: CHEERSTOLOU (3) to win

RACE EIGHT

First up for the new stable last time out, BRACKEN WARRIOR (3) was sent forward off the gate before taking cover and grabbing the bronze behind the in-form OUR DICKIE BART. Taking benefit from the outing, he has the speed to get forward and stake claim for victory.

 IMANI (9) was sent out as the fav last start at the 2138 and could not get warm in the closing stages when trying to make her run. Strong to the line over this trip the start prior when only beaten a neck, she finds the right conditions here to issue the challenge.

 BUDDY PERFECT (6) has placed at his past four in succession, the latest when sitting parked and grinding out the silver from this same gate. Positioning cheaply will be key to his chances.

 SAN SABA (2) is first up for the new stable that has a knack of improving these types. Last seen at Tamworth, she arrives a four-time winner that possesses gate speed and stays under watch.

SELECTIONS: BRACCKEN WARRIOR (3), IMANI (9), BUDDY PERFECT (6), SAN SABA (2)
 SUGGESTED BET: BRACCKEN WARRIOR (3) to win

RACE NINE

A regally bred 4YO mare making her Qld debut, VIENNA OPERA (6) arrives a two-time winner from just eight career starts. Drawn closer than gate five once in those eight starts, the pipe opening trial in readiness for the return suggests she can hit the high notes first up.
 
 LITTLE HOOFANANNY (2) was a beaten fav last start at Redcliffe when runner-up to THE TIGER ARMY. Down the line in a mare’s qualifier the start prior, she finds the right gate and conditions to settle handy to the action here and issue the challenge.

 SII SEMPRE TILLY (1) resumes from a spell, shut down following an early error that proved costly at Redcliffe last time out. With a pair of tidy trial performances, she can feature fresh.

 SAINT LOUIS BEAT (8) should secure an economical trip from this gate and will be stalking the speed. A winner in two of his past five, he has podium claims.

SELECTIONS: VIENNA OPERA (6), LITTLE HOOFANANNY (2), SII SEMPRE TILLY (1), SAINT LOUIS BEAT (8)
