Form Analysis: Albion Park Jun 12

RACE TWO

HANDSOME HERO (10) is racing well without much really going his way at present. Easing to find position from gate 3 last start, he wasn’t far from the winner ULTIMATE AD, when closing nicely. Too far back the start prior behind the same winner, with even luck in transit, there looks enough tempo up front for him to sweep home.

AT WEST POINT (5) was sent forward from gate 6 in a 2^nd division qualifier here last start when pressing on to take control over the mile. Setting a strong tempo, he only faded in the closing stages to hold 3^rd when 6m from the winner. He might need to roll the sleeves here, but will be in the fight.

COOL SCOOTER (3) retreated from gate 7 last start and was making some nice metreage in the stretch behind ULTIMATE AD. Grinding it out in the breeze 2 starts back, he can press ahead here.

LIVING GRAND (1) had to do it the tough way last start at Redcliffe and was fighting on when holding on for the bronze. With the benefit of the gate, he will have early options to be thereabouts.

SELECTIONS: HANDSOME HERO (10), AT WEST POINT (5), COOL SCOOTER (3), LIVING GRAND (1)
SUGGESTED BET: HANDSOME HERO (10) to win

RACE THREE

BOMBADIER JUJON (10) started from inside the 2^nd line last start and soon found himself buried in the run. When finding space, there was plenty to like in how he found the line when grabbing the bronze behind LAUGHING EMOJI. His effort was strong the start prior when mid-field from gate 7 behind GOVERNOR JUJON and with even luck, he can arrive in this.

MONTANA LAD (5) took them all the way from gate 2 in a Gold Pot heat here 3 starts back in ripping home a smart closing panel. Luckless from gate 6 in the Final, he was stuck trying to find position from this gate last start. With a forward position on offer, he can look to overcome a questionable record at the trip.

SHEZ ALL STYLE (9) was locked away 3 back on the pegs last start when chasing home behind LAUGHIN EMOJI. 4m in arrears of the winner in the Gold Pot Final 2 starts back, with the right trail through she can feature.

NOTORIUS (8) will need a slice of luck from this gate, with the chance that he is buried in the run. Finding the pegs prior to releasing last start, he will be probing for the openings to chime in here.

SELECTIONS: BOMBADIER JUJON (10), MONTANA LAD (5), SHEZ ALL STYLE (9), NOTORIUS (8)
SUGGESTED BET: BOMBADIER JUJON (10) to win

RACE FOUR

SOMEBEACHCOMEGIFT (8) took on the Redcliffe sprint trip last start where he was buried in the run from inside the 2^nd line. Finding space when it was all over, there was a bit to like in the way he found the line. That was the 1^st time he had chased since arriving in Qld, after being out in front in his previous 4 starts. With the economical trip, he can take the snipers shot here.

GLENCOE REIGN (1) started in red figures at his Qld debut at Redcliffe last time out and wasn’t given any favours in finding position in the run and faded under the tough trip. With the benefit of the ace gate, he can look to show his early speed and finds a suitable assignment to capitalise.

MANOFLISA (2) is in great touch and shoots for a hat-trick here after successive wins on the Triangle over the 1780m. Settling back in the pack last start, he closed strongly to arrive for the prize. Positioning cheaply here, he can be chiming in.

BLUE SHARD (9) had an early look from gate 4 last start and did some early work prior to receiving the 1x1 trail. Only 2m from the winner BETTERTHANDIAMONDS here 2 starts back, this is well within reach.

SELECTIONS: SOMEBEACHCOMEGIFT (8), GLENCOE REIGN (1), MANOFLISA (2), BLUE SHARD (9)
SUGGESTED BET: SOMEBEACHCOMEGIFT (8) to win

RACE FIVE

AWESOME OLLIE (4) finds his way to the Narissa McMullen stable after 3 career starts spread between NZ and Menangle. 1^st up from gate 9 in 14 months over the Menangle Mile last start, he was a short-priced elect when striking trouble and working in the run. He strikes the right type of contest here.

BROOKESSMARTDANCER (5) was making his 1^st outing in Qld last start when settling in the running line from this same gate and striking trouble than ended his chances. 1^st up from a spell in that event, if he can get things right this time, look for him to be an improver.

ROCK THE HOUSE (10) will need a few factors in his favour, but if the tempo is good, he can look to be chiming in late. Snagged back form gate 6 at Redcliffe last start, he is pace player in this.

INCITER (7) added another minor to his tally last start when doing it the tough way over the 1780m at Redcliffe and fighting hard to hold 3^rd. The gate stings, but he can be thereabouts in this line-up.

SELECTIONS: AWESOME OLLIE (4), BROOKESSMARTDANCER (5), ROCK THE HOUSE (10), INCITER (7)
SUGGESTED BET: AWESOME OLLIE (4) to win

RACE SIX

STREET APPEAL (4) completed a hat-trick of victories last start when never in danger and leading all the way from gate 1 over the mile. A winner over this trip 3 starts back when sent to the front from gate 6, he can get forward again and he looks hard pressed to be stopped in this line-up.

ROGER THAT (1) made the most of gate 1 at Redcliffe 3 starts back when taking them all the way and running a smart last 800m in the process. Eased from gate 7 to find position at his next start, he was attacking the line to be 2m from the winner. With the cosy trip, he looks the exacta player.

MACHIN OUT (8) had been returning some tidy performances at Redcliffe in recent outings and was able to bring that form here to The Creek last start, taking them all the way over this trip. The pegs look the place to be in this and he can slide through to place.

BEACH GODDESS (5) held the pocket trail from inside the 2^nd line last start in chasing to hold the silver behind MACHIN OUT. Positioning cheaply, she can look to make a closing play here.

SELECTIONS: STREET APPEAL (4), ROGER THAT (1), MACHIN OUT (8), BEACH GODDESS (5)
SUGGESTED BET: Pegline players 4-1-8

RACE SEVEN

THE REAPER (9) started fav from this tape last start when making an uncharacteristic early error that proved costly. Hitting the line strongly here 2 starts back to get within a head of the winner. Forgive the last start and back to his normal manners, he can look to get back to winning form.

BOURBONONTHEROCKS (8) changed direction a few times here 2 starts back when trying to find a clear passage and went within a head of the winner. Franking that effort here last start when hitting the line in good order to score, she will be chiming in again to throw down the challenge.

SOH TWISTED (2) has worked her way into form and broke a winless streak lasting almost 4 years to score here 2 starts back when leading throughout. Only gunned down in the closing strides last time, she will be gripping on again.

AVEROSS DON (11) drops back in grade here and with even luck in transit, he will be right in this. Striking trouble 2 starts back behind HAVANA MAGIC, he can overcome the impost to feature.

SELECTIONS: THE REAPER (9), BOURBONONTHEROCKS (8), SOH TWISTED (2), AVEROSS DON (11)
SUGGESTED BET: THE REAPER (9) to win

RACE EIGHT

GOOD AS IT GETS (1) started in red figures last start and faced a torrid trip when pressing forward early but with no position available was forced to retreat. Closing out in nice style, he was still only 4m from the winner in a real get on me next time effort. From the gate he looks set to dictate.

ALBION ARK (4) had an early look last start and was throwing some early jabs that contributed to a sub 26 opening panel prior to easing in for the trail. Finding the tempo too hot, he faded under the pressure. That followed a down the line effort behind GOVERNOR JUJON. He should appreciate this level.

ELIZABETHAN ERA (6) eased from a wide gate to look for the short-cuts last start when back in the pack. A nice winner here 3 starts back and following that with a tidy effort from gate 7, she can be chiming in.

HAVING THE FAITH (7) chased gamely in a strong closing half here on Tues behind the smart winner SOHO TSUNAMI. Easing out of it early, he can take the easy way home to chime into the numbers.

SELECTIONS: GOOD AS IT GETS (1), ALBION ARK (4), ELIZABETHAN ERA (6), HAVING THE FAITH (7)
SUGGESTED BET: GOOD AS IT GETS (1) to win
