Form Analysis: Albion Park Nov 18

RACE ONE

KENNY KEKO (5) completed a threepeat last start when pressing on from gate 5 under mobile conditions and gripping on for a narrow victory. A winner from the front tape over this trip two back when taking charge of proceedings, despite the 10m, she can step and be mighty hard to hold out.

MY RUMOUR HAS IT (4) was winding up in the latter stages here last start when finishing 4m in arrears of the winner KAPAI. Making a mess of things in her previous two starts that saw her out of business, if she can step and trot cleanly, she can throw down a big challenge here.

KAPAI (2) loves settling near the speed and has the right lane to find a preferred spot. Finding the front and then releasing last start before claiming it up the passing lane, he is right in the fight.

MINNIE BOW TIQUE (3) made the most of a reduced field last start to get forward cheaply from a 50m tape and then finish best to take the prize. From the front tape she can stake a claim.

SELECTIONS: KENNY KEKO (5), MY RUMOUR HAS IT (4), KAPAI (2), MINNIE BOW TIQUE (3)
SUGGESTED BET: KENNY KEKO (5) to win

RACE TWO

A 2YO tackling all ages in search of the maiden breaker, LUCKY JIM (4) released the pressure here on Tuesday and from the trail was 5m from the winner GIRL FROM ROSEDALE in a 2YO maiden. Beaten in successive starts when 2^nd to GO THE RED his previous two, this looks the race to cash in.

TIN AMBER MINE (2) was returning from a spell last time out when facing a second line gate over the Redcliffe 1780m. Eased to the poles, he was a long way off them in finishing in the second half of the pack. The improved gate and added fitness can see a sharper effort here.

ASH AND JO (6) has been kept fresh since making her debut here last month in a 2YO event and finishing in 3^rd behind FREE THINKER. Despite tackling open age performers, she is in the mix.

MAJOR PAINT (3) is on the short back up after competing at Redcliffe on Thursday afternoon where he looked a place hope from gate 1. This is a little trickier but has podium claims again.
 

SELECTIONS: LUCKY JIM (4), TIN AMBER MINE (2), ASH AND JO (6), MAJOR PAINT (3)
SUGGESTED BET: LUCKY JIM (4) to win

RACE THREE

Sent out favourite last Saturday in a 2YO only contest, BOLD MEDLEY JUJON (4) eased at the start in the small field as the race developed into a last panel blitz. Unable to reel in the stablemate CHEER LEADER, he was attacking the line running slick time up the stretch. This looks at his mercy.

JADES DIAMOND (10) has hit the board in all four career starts, the past two here at headquarters where she was runner-up to the clear out winner ACE LOMBO and 3^rd behind FREE THINKER who controlled the speed in front. The gate is not ideal, but she looks best of the rest.

STUDLEIGH PATRICIA (9) opened her account two starts back when eased off the arm from gate 4 and then over the closing stages owned superior speed. Best of the chasers last start, she can join in.

NICKY KHAN (3) was sent to the front at Redcliffe last start and after walking them through the opening half, was unable to repel the challenge of ARTFUL MASTER. With early hustle, he can place.

SELECTIONS: BOLD MEDLEY JUJON (4), JADES DIAMOND (10), STUDLEIGH PATRICIA (9), NICKY KHAN (3)
SUGGESTED BET: Exotics 4 / 3-9-10

RACE FOUR

In a race that is hard to dissect and several winning chances that are all looking to recapture some form, it might just be the newcomer ISNTTHATRIGHT (9) that can capitalise. Arriving with Riverina form, he joins the Steve Cini stable and finds a winnable contest first up.

FLY CHEVAL (2) received the 1x1 trail last start over the Redcliffe sprint trip when finishing midfield and 4m form the winner JANG PEL. A similar result and margin the start prior from the second line, from this gate she can be close enough to the action to make a challenge.

BLISSFULL DONNA (3) resumes from a spell after her last start back in June when midfield at Tamworth. Facing a string of wide gates, she has good hustle off the arm to take a shot here.

JILLIBY GIZMO (6) did not get warm last start at Redcliffe when down the line, with that effort following a head defeat after setting the tempo. An all the way winner here four runs back, he is in the mix.

RACE FIVE

Doing some early work last start left HIT THE TRACK (1) with limited resources over the closing stages when midfield behind FORGIVE ME. Tough gates hampered his efforts in both starts prior, while four back he was runner-up to JAY TEE TYRON. The gate and set up looks ideal this time.

JUDGE JUJON (9) resumes from a spell after his last appearance came in the 3YOTriad Consolation where the race developed into a last quarter blitz, and he was too far back to feature. Runner-up to LEITHEN BURN four runs back, he can get the early trail to feature fresh.

IM LOKI (2) loves to free wheel and last start at Redcliffe was out in front trying to pinch it, but the gauge hit empty as he tried to fight back in finishing 6m from the winner. He will be gripping on again.

GABBYS IDEAL (8) was a beaten fav last start in a Final at Redcliffe claimed by BELLA BRONSKI. Runner-up her previous two starts, she can get the economical trip here to look for the gaps.

SELECTIONS: HIT THE TRACK (1), JUDGE JUJON (9), IM LOKI (2), GABBYS IDEAL (8)
SUGGESTED BET: HIT THE TRACK (1) to win

RACE SIX

Despite the tricky gate, the map might just set up right for MUMMYS BOY (9) to get the right trip to arrive in time. Leading them up here two starts back, he was collared in the closing stages by subsequent winner BETTOR JIGGLE. Luckless last start, he can look for a bounce back.

SO AM I (5) returned from a fruitless NSW trip with a smart victory at Redcliffe after overcoming the second line to score. Powering home over the top in smart order, he can look to settle handy to the action to throw down the challenge.

TIMZEE (8) will be requiring a rub of the green at some stage form this alley as he looks set to be snookered. Only 2m from the winner last start after grafting it out in tough fashion, he will be probing.

TUNGSTEN TERROR (2) has made errors at his past two attempts that have ended his chances. He secures an improved gate and with the chance to be up near the action, can turn it around.

SELECTIONS: MUMMYS BOY (9), SO AM I (5), TIMZEE (8), TUNGSTEN TERROR (2)
SUGGESTED BET:  MUMMYS BOY (9) to win

 

RACE SEVEN

ACE LOMBO (8) found suitable conditions last start where he powered home over the top, pulling clear to space his rivals in posting a 21m winning margin. Grabbing the bronze two starts back, he will be needing some factors in his favour but if he can break free of the pegs, he can take this.

GOLDEN LACE (3) should take some benefit from her latest appearance where she was fresh and faced with gate 6 over the Redcliffe sprint. Eased to the rear to secure a spot, she was making some nice metres over the closing stages and with the hustle to get forward here, can issue a challenge.

MON BEL ANGE (1) is a three-time winning mare that arrives with the Grant Dixon stable. Showing good speed off the arm when racing in Victoria, she has been a hand up runner and has the gate to feature first up.

PRESS STATEMENT (4) takes his first look beyond 1900m so presents as somewhat an unknown commodity. A smart Redcliffe heat winner at 1780m two starts back, he was best of the rest chasing BELLA BRONSKI in the Final.

SELECTIONS: ACE LOMBO (8), GOLDEN LACE (3), MON BEL ANGE (1), PRESS STATEMENT (4)
SUGGESTED BET: Exotics 1-3-4-8

RACE EIGHT

Knocking on the door with some nice efforts in recent weeks, CHAINLINC (3) might have found the chance to stroll on through. Game in defeat last start when sitting parked at Redcliffe and making a closing raid to be within 3m of the winner, he can be up near the action to cash in.

BETTERTHANAROCKET (1) has some plain numbers next to his name, but importantly lands the right marble to look for his first win in Qld. He did not secure the smoothest passage in transit last start but was making some nice metres over the closing stages. The alley is his ally.

LITTLELIONELJAMES (9) ended his consistent run of form last start when missing the money for the first time in 8 successive starts. Forced to retreat before making some nice closing metres, he can chime in here.

REGULUS (8) has the benefit of the fence draw, and he should find himself in the right position. Grabbing the bronze three back behind IMA SOCIALITE from the inside, he will be searching.

SELECTIONS: CHAINLINC (3), BETTERTHANAROCKET (1), LITTLELIONELJAMES (9), REGULUS (8)
SUGGESTED BET: CHAINLINC (3) to win

RACE NINE

This is a cracking 70Heat with the line-up worthy of being the Final of this Series and winning chances across the board. Despite landing the outside second line, TARGARYEN (10) can look for redemption after striking trouble in the Peak of the Creek Final last start and put out of business. A tough 2^nd three back, there should be plenty of tempo for him to descend.

JACCKA WALLY (2) returns from a spell following a tough effort at his last appearance when 7m from the winner MOLLIESMARYELLE. A winner of a similar heat three starts back, he has opened the pipes with a smart trial and with the early hustle to find the poles, should then gain the ideal trip.

BRIGADIERS SON (4) took the trail on HY VOLTAGE last start in the Bill Dixon and was trying to launch a closing raid when a half-head away from the winner. Positioning cheaply will be vital.

HY VOLTAGE (6) was sent to the front in the Bill Dixon from this same gate and was keen but could not repel the challengers, fading off to be 8m from the winner. He will be trying to see it out.

SELECTIONS: TARGARYEN (10), JACKKA WALLY (2), BRIGADIERS SON (4), HY VOLTAGE (6)
SUGGESTED BET: TARGARYEN (10) to win
