Form Analysis: Albion Park Nov 26

RACE ONE

Peaking on his run last week after getting out of the pack to chase down the breakaway, INFATUATION (1) battled into 3^rd as BETTERTHANDIAMONDS took the win. Releasing the wrong runner after finding the front and then carted through the pack two back, this looks his race.

ROCK BOTTOM (5) had been racing in nice touch in recent appearances until receiving no luck last start when out the back and unable to get into the battle as UNCLE SHANK took the prize. Taking them all the way here two back for a smart win, he can press forward to state his case.

MAKE MINE MEMPHIS (11) keeps chalking up the minor money, the latest a game 2^nd when sitting parked as UNCLE SHANK saluted. Placed in 18 of 30 this season, he can join in again.

BOMBADIER JUJON (4) was strong to the line last week wider on the track after starting from the second line and finishing 3m away to grab the silver. He will be thereabouts once again.

RACE TWO

This 70Final shapes as a cracking contest and is bursting with speed runners. Settled off the speed in his heat, TARGARYEN (5) was saved for the closing shot and descended on them to score a narrow margin. Game after sitting parked three back and under 5m from the winner, he is up to this.

ANIMADO (1) was a runner-up here two starts back in his heat from gate 2 when looking to take them all the way, collared in the last stride to go under an eyelash. A winner at both other appearances in Qld, he can secure the trip to throw down the challenge.

NO DOUBT (8) has hit the board in 6 of his past 7, the latest when runner-up here on Tuesday behind the flying mare SPEED DATING. 2^nd to ANIMADO two back, he will be skirting the poles.

BRIGADIERS SON (7) fired out from gate 4 to look for an all the way victory last time and with the speed on throughout, finished 3m from them as TARGARYEN arrived. The gate dents his chances.

RACE THREE

Defeated just once in four attempts since arriving in the Sunshine State, it was this same gate that was the undoing of SOEXTRA (7) two starts back. Firing across to lead them up, it was a sizzling tempo with the winner coming off his back. Despite the wide gate once again, he is up to this.

KARLOO BRADLEY (2) found conditions here last week to open his Qld account, pressing forward from gate 4 to take control over the 2138m trip and take them all the way. Runner-up to SOEXTRA two starts back when sticking to the inside from gate 8, he can be close enough to issue a challenge.

GIRL FROM OZ (4) has limited exposure at the middle trip, having never been tested over the AP 2138m and having had just 3 attempts at a similar trip. Her run was solid last start when three-wide from the 700m and a return to the front line helps.
 
BETTOR JIGGLE (9) got the better of SOEXTRA here two starts back, sitting on his back and then making the closing shot a winner up the stretch. Game in defeat when parked last start, he is in the mix.

RACE FOUR

Eased from gate 6 last week, COPPERFIELD (1) was back in the pack before really attacking the line over the closing stages to finish 5m from the winner KARLOO BRADLEY. Making a closing dive in the Bill Dixon two back when beaten just a neck, he has all the favours here to capitalise.

ISOLATION (3) chased hard in the same race last week when grabbing the silver behind KARLOO BRADLEY after settling back from gate 5. Hitting the line in nice order two starts back behind THE GROGFATHER, he lands his best gate for some time and closer to the action can issue a challenge.

LETS BLAZE (8) is in search of a hat-trick and lands the right gate behind the right beginner to stalk the speed. Pulling away to post a 12m margin in sharp time at Redcliffe last start, his record on the big deck is a nagging query.

KATACHA MAN (4) powered home here last week in a second division qualifier and pulled away to take an expanding 14m margin. Working hard two starts back, he is in the mix.

RACE FIVE

Hitting the line soundly wide off the track at Redcliffe last start over the 2040m trip, BRIAN CHRISTOPHER (2) will likely find the mile more to his liking. A smart 3^rd from gate 7 here two back after retreating and then attacking the line late, he can be closer to the action and rectify his winless record on this deck.

ITZ CHEROKEE JACK (7) claimed the Bill Dixon here two starts back when doing it the tough way sitting parked and proving too strong in a career PB. Hitting the line soundly three back in a qualifier behind AIR TIME, the gate dents the chances, but this is still within reach.

FAST TRACKER (1) sat in the running line from gate 9 here two starts back and when asked for the closing effort, owned superior closing speed to take a 5m margin. 4m from STRONG RESPONSE last start, the gate helps.

MAJORDOIT (8) has placed in his past two starts and secures the benefit of the fence run. Grabbing 3^rd wide off the track at Marburg last start, he was just a half-neck from HIPSTAR here two back and will be probing.

RACE SIX

Overcoming gate 7 here last week when sent forward on a three-wide move from the 1200 A WHOLE LOTTA ROSIE (5) was in for the fight and was able to tough it out to take a 2m margin. That was a second division qualifier and with this no tougher, she can graft it out again.

DANCINTOTHEBEAT (6) released the speed here last week from gate 1 and was trying to reel in the leader when finishing 5m in arrears. Grabbing the bronze two starts back after retreating from this same gate and then making good metres over the closing stages, she will be making a closing raid.

WATCHFUL LADY (1) was beaten by the wide gate last start when retreating to secure position which followed a tough run where she faded after sitting parked. The gate is a big help here.

SHEZ NOTORIOUS (8) was luckless last start after being snookered in the run and never sighting the gaps. A runner-up three starts back, she will be probing for the openings.

RACE SEVEN

Landing his best gate for some time, NORTHVIEW HUSTLER (1) looks set to secure an easy lead from this gate. Eased from gate 6 last time, he was too far back against the tempo as BIG WHEELS led throughout. Midfield in the Qld Cup from gate 11, this is sitting squarely in his wheelhouse.

MACH DA VINCI (7) cops the outside gate after claiming the Qld Cup last time out. Bypassing the Inter Dominion to stay local, his two runs since returning to the care of Shane Graham have seen a 3^rd in the Be Good Johnny and then the last start victory. Despite the wide gate, he can throw it down.

WILL THE WIZARD (6) was rattling home again here last week for the bronze when 6m from the winner BIG WHEELS, running some sharp closing panels. The gate stings but he can again rattle.

LILAC FLASH (2) has been freshened since his last outing when chasing home along the poles behind the dead heaters TURN IT UP and CRUZ. First to tuck in behind here, he is a podium player.

After three heats were held at Marburg last Sunday, this final looks an open affair. Giving away plenty of experience SISTA BLISS (3) should appreciate a return to the front line after starting from inside the second line in her heat. Angled away from the poles soon after the start, the winner came from the space she vacated. With the right trip, she can arrive.

TINGE OF FEAR (1) was a winner from this gate over this trip four starts back when firing out and taking them all the way for a narrow victory. Collared in the last stride in her heat with the winner finding space to get off her back, she lands all the options from the ace to issue the challenge.

NEVADA YANKEE (4) was going to go to the front in his heat but just threw in some funky strides as the turn approached. Finishing soundly for the bronze, he can fire some early bullets here to feature.

WILLIEWA LIGHTNING (9) has been in some consistent form of late and in his heat was able to burrow through to take them all the way. With the right trail he can be chiming in.

Returning from a spell with victory here from gate 6, TIMS A TROOPER (8) was given his shot at Menangle in an NSW 3YO G1 event where he had to settle for silver behind MAHOMES. Three back he was 3^rd to LEAP TO FAME at Tamworth and with the second line options, he should be too classy.

MAJIC MOMENT (3) was snookered away two starts back in the Fillies Feature and rattled home in the stretch to run the winner UPTOWN BEACHGIRL to a lip. Overcoming gate 7 last week against the older mares to take a qualifier, a return to her own age from this gate can see her challenge.

RACY ROXY (1) started from this gate last start and was soon hemmed away four back and never really in the mix thereafter. Settling closer to the action can see her on the podium here.

IMA SOCIALITE (2) has not had anything go in her favour at her past three starts, with conditions and positions in the run all conspiring against her. With any ounce of luck, she is certainly up to the challenge.

After only being asked to sprint the last 200 from back in the pack of a small field BOLD MEDLEY JUJON (4) hit the line in strong order in making his Aus debut when 3m from CHEER LEADER. That effort has been franked with a pair of victories when starting at $1.07 and $1.04. The threepeat is on.

CHEER LEADER (7) took control from gate 1 last time out and with a steady tempo throughout the race developed into a turn and burn. She was able to do exactly that, sizzling up the stretch in 26.8 to hold a 3m margin and make it five in succession. The gate makes the ask much bigger here.

THE TAX CULLECTOR (6) returns from a spell after a last start disappointment when down the line behind WISPER A SECRET. Defeating the older performers two back, he has trialled sharply in readiness.

ARKIN WICKED (8) will take plenty of benefit from his return to the track from a let up last time out. Defeating older horses with a nice close out, he will be searching for the gaps to make a play.

Taking the closing shot on the leader two starts back, RED CASTLETON (8) looked set to land victory but was knocked out on the wire by KINGDOM COME. Settled four back last start, he was out and running but could not reel them in. With second line options, he can be charging.

MAJESTIC SIMON (6) was first up back in Qld last week with over seven weeks between outings when he made an error from the tapes to end his chances. 3m from CALIGULA over the Menangle mile four starts back, he can get forward here to throw down the challenge.

ZEALOUS SPUR (1) rattled home wide out in smart order three starts back when 6m away and franked that effort with an all the way midweek win. Asked to hang tough last start, the gate helps.

HUMBLE LADD (7) was sent forward from gate 6 here four starts back over these conditions and only collared late by SUGARINSPICE. He has done things wrong at his past two, but at his best he warrants respect.
