Form Analysis: Albion Park Dec 02

RACE ONE

Showing perfect manners to take them all the way here three starts back, ZEALOUS SPUR (8) then tackled the open ranks and was game in defeat after sitting parked. Following that up with a narrow 2^nd last start up the passing lane behind INDEFENSIBLE, he can track into the contest here to arrive.

KENNY KEKO (7) bounced back to winning form last start to make it 4 wins in her past 5 starts and boasts the record of 12:5-3-2 on this deck. Pressing on to take control from the 2138m mobile start last time, she is safe from the tapes and if she can overcome the 20m cheaply, she looms large.

MINNIE BOW TIQUE (2) made full use of a small field three starts back to claim victory. An error at her next start proved costly while last time she was 2^nd after working. From the front she has claims.

KAR MANOR (9) can do a few things wrong, but he has the speed to correct those errors in the latter stages. Making good ground to grab 3^rd last start, he can be charging home again here.

SELECTIONS: ZEALOUS SPUR (8), KENNY KEKO (7), MINNIE BOW TIQUE (2), KAR MANOR (9)
SUGGESTED BET: ZEALOUS SPUR (8) to win

RACE TWO

After tackling some much tougher battles since resuming form a spell, WE ALWAYS HAVE FAITH (5) looks to have found his chance to bounce back into some winning form here. Gate 7 was his undoing last start behind MAJIC MOMENT and two back he grabbed 3^rd behind FUTURE ASSURED.

DATTITUDE (1) was asked to do some work last start from gate 4 over the 2138m trip and after the tough run the tank was empty before the turn. 8m from the flying MIDNIGHT CALM two starts back, he is a query at the middle trip, but has the gate to issue a challenge.

BLACKJACK BART (4) is still on a win drought that dates to April 2021, but his recent efforts have been sound. Gate 6 ended his hopes last start and with the improved alley he can be thereabouts.

CONVAIR HUSTLER (6) is given no favours from the wide alley and finding a spot cheaply will aid his podium hopes. Only 7m from the winner despite finishing last at his latest attempt, he can chime in.

SELECTIONS: WE ALWAYS HAVE FAITH (5), DATTITUDE (1), BLACKJACK BART (4), CONVAIR HUSTLER (6)
SUGGESTED BET: WE ALWAYS HAVE FAITH (5) to win

RACE THREE

Some good winning form to dissect in this 2YO contest. Overcoming the outside front line on debut, SPORTING LEGEND (10) will need to overcome the outside second line this time. Defeating subsequent two-time winner GO THE RED in that, tempo and added experience can aid his cause.

BORELLA (8) has looked smart since he first stepped out at the trials. A tidy 2^nd on debut was followed with a classy win second-up that has proven to be a strong form reference. Given a let up since the win, he has opened the pipes with a smart trial, but needs some luck from this alley.

REDS STAR DEAL (4) was a winner on debut at Redcliffe back in June and was quickly put away. Returning here without the benefit of a trial, he stays under notice.

GIRL FROM ROSEDALE (6) tackled a strong event last start where she released the winner BOLD MEDLEY JUJON and battled on to finish midfield. She has the early speed to settle handy.

SELECTIONS: SPORTING LEGEND (10), BORELLA (8), REDS STAR DEAL (4), GIRL FROM ROSEDALE (6)
SUGGESTED BET: SPORTING LEGEND (10) to win

RACE FOUR

Claiming a double breakthrough when resuming from a long spell over the mile, DELTA THREE (8) secured a maiden breaking and first Aus win in one. Making the most of gate 1 to take them all the way, she will be needing some luck from this alley, but that win suggested she is up to the task.

SOME GIRLS DONT (4) was making her Aus debut last time out at the mile when she was taken back from this same gate as the fav and from there was making good metres in the closing stages to finish midfield. Taken back to the trials, she can look for the bounce back factor.

JADES DIAMOND (5) was chasing from the second line last start even before they let them go which resulted in her missing the money for the first time in five starts. Positioning cheaply will be key.

STUDLEIGH PATRICIA (7) is still stranded out wide with the ODM embargo, the latest effort when down the line after mixing it up early. If she can race cleaner from the start, she is a podium hope.

RACE FIVE

MELTON BEACH (7) comes up with the tough gate but should take plenty of benefit from his last outing where he was first up since April. Buried in the run from inside the second line, when the gaps arrived, he charged through to claim a stylish win. He finds the right opposition to go back-to-back.

OCTOBER RACKETEER (1) has been crying out to snare a gate and finally does so here. Searching for openings last start when 7m from the winner in the Marburg to Albion Final, he was solid to the line in the heat when drawn off the second line in the heat. He lands all the options here to challenge.

GOLDIES A DELIGHT (9) returns from a spell after being sent for a break following the 3YO Fillies Triad Final where she returned a midfield result from gate 7. She should improve off her achievements here.

ACE LOMBO (5) did not have the smoothest passage last start but was still able to finish just a neck astern of the winner. A big victor here three back, he can be thereabouts again.

SELECTIONS: MELTON BEACH (7), OCTOBER RACKETEER (1), GOLDIES A DELIGHT (9), ACE LOMBO (5)
SUGGESTED BET: MELTON BEACH (7) to win

RACE SIX

After tackling the middle trip at his past two starts, ANOTHER STATEMENT (8) looks to have found the ideal conditions to claim his 11^th win on this deck. A Penrith winner three back, his second two starts back was a tidy effort from gate 6. Stalking the speed, he has the closing power to arrive.

BITCOIN (7) settled in the 1x1 trail from the second line last time out and owned superior closing power to arrive for victory by a head. Four starts back he took them all the way to claim a slick Sat night win with bad gates proving costly at the two runs in between. Despite the gate, he is up to it.

HEAVEN IN LOCKSLEY (1) was second up in Qld two starts back when large in victory when sitting parked and proving too strong. Wilting badly last time, he has the gate to bounce back.

HIPSTAR (4) started from inside the second line last time out and was soon shuffled out of play as the filed sorted position. A winner at his previous three in succession, he is a podium player here.

SELECTIONS: ANOTHER STATEMENT (8), BITCOIN (7), HEAVEN IN LOCKSLEY (1), HIPSTAR (4)
SUGGESTED BET:  ANOTHER STATEMENT (8) to win

 

RACE SEVEN

It will be another step up for the 2YO filly EXCITING TIMES (2) in tackling the older horses here, but she comes into this with the perfect 2 from 2 record. Both of those victories have been at Redcliffe, the latest when first up in close to six months. With early hustle, she can look for the threepeat.

JUDGE JUJON (9) will be fitter again after two runs back from a spell and draws to get the right trail into the battle. From the pocket trail last start, he was making the closing raid to get within a half-head of the winner STUDLEIGH MARK. With the right trip he can throw down the challenge.

PAGO PAGO (3) has hit some form and will chase down a hat-trick of victories after wins at Marburg and then here at the mile. A passing lane winner last time, he can get forward to feature.

HOLDINGNO CURRENCY (4) could not go on with it last start from the 1x1 trail after easing across from gate 6. Not too far off them two back, he can settle handy enough to fill a minor.

SELECTIONS: EXCITING TIMES (2), JUDGE JUJON (9), PAGO PAGO (3), HOLDINGNO CURRENCY (4)

RACE EIGHT

It will be an ask for the 2YO ARKIN WICKED (3) to step up against experienced performers here, but he looks to have his share of ability. Tucked away and never in the hunt in a strong 2YO only event last time behind BOLD MEDLEY JUJON. It followed a smart Redcliffe victory from gate 5.

GABBYS IDEAL (10) has been runner-up at 3 of her past 4 starts, the latest when buried in the run but attacking the line in nice order to be just a half-neck in arrears. Looking to lead throughout at Redcliffe three back when gunned down late, she will be trying to track into the contest here.

VOODOO FELLA (7) is afforded no favours from this gate, but he is never too far from the action. Making some nice closing metres when 5m away last time, he is a podium hope in this line up.

STUDLEIGH WILL (6) made the most of conditions to lead throughout at Marburg two starts back and followed that with a gritty 3^rd over this trip. He might need to roll the sleeves again.

SELECTIONS: ARKIN WICKED (3), GABBYS IDEAL (10), VOODOO FELLA (7), STUDLEIGH WILL (6)
SUGGESTED BET: ARKIN WICKED (3) to win

RACE NINE

It has been a hard read to gauge exactly where AWAYWEGO (4) is at the moment but looking at his sectional data in recent attempts suggests he is going well enough. 8m from MAJIC MOMENT in a 3YO event last start, he was5m from TARGARYEN the start prior. Unplaced his past seven, he might just turn it around.

STRONG RESPONSE (1) returned from a spell with a first up victory here at the middle trip after releasing and then finishing best to claim a half-neck margin. Forced to work triple time from the breeze last start and fading, he gets the gate here to throw it down.

ROLL WITH ROCKY (8) will take good benefit from his return to the track last start where he was stepping out for the first time since January. 5m from the winner SAILALNONG SINBAD, he will be probing.

SPEAK WITH SAM (10) claimed a second division qualifier two starts back when finding the trail and darting through along the passing lane. Tucked away on the poles again last start, he can be joining in here.

SELECTIONS: AWAYWEGO (4), STRONG RESPONSE (1), ROLL WITH ROCKY (8), SPEAK WITH SAM (10)
SUGGESTED BET: AWAYWEGO (4) to win

RACE TEN

A tricky contest to end the card where BELLA GODIVA (1) lands all the favours from the gate to breakthrough for her fist win on this deck. Not suited last start when asked to sit parked, she was too far back the start prior. With all the options, this looks within her reach.

ISNTTHATRIGHT (10) has had two appearances since arriving in Qld and twice he has been the runner-up. Trying to reel them in last start, he was 8m from the dictating winner CLARES FOOL. This makes it 3 from 3 in Qld to be drawn off the second line and he will be trying to issue a challenge.

SHEZ GOT BLING (9) was beaten by gate 6 last start when forced to retreat early and from back in the pack could not make up the deficit. Doing some early work two back, this looks more suitable.

NON PASSARE (6) has placed at his past two starts on The Triangle, the latest when starting fav and trying to make a closing raid, finishing 11m adrift of the winner. The gate stings, but he can chime in.

SELECTIONS: BELLA GODIVA (1), ISNTTHATRIGHT (10), SHEZ GOT BLING (9), NON PASSARE (6)
