Form Analysis: Albion Park Dec 03

RACE ONE

Trying to get a cart into the contest here on Tuesday, SAM IS PERFECTION (12) got caught up between runners and faced an interrupted run. Finding the line nicely once into clear air and building momentum, he just needs a smoother passage here to atone.

SCOOB OPERATOR (10) was beaten by gate 7 last start where he was forced to retreat to secure position and then claim a midfield return behind HIPSTAR. Luckless the start prior when locked away, he can press through early and finding the right trip be able to challenge.

TUAPEKA GLORY (8) hit the line in nice style here last start when 6m from INFATUATION. Claiming a B5 event here two back from the trail and darting up the passing lane, he will be probing for open road in this.

MAJORDOIT (2) will be looking to back up his midweek victory after he was able to see it out on Tuesday from this gate over this trip. Placed his previous three in succession, he is in the mix.

SELECTIONS: SAM IS PERFECTION (12), SCOOB OPERATOR (10), TUAPEKA GLORY (8), MAJORDOIT (2)
SUGGESTED BET: SAM IS PERFECTION (12) to win

RACE TWO

Working overtime in the run here last week after sitting parked and getting keen, SOEXTRA (3) was in for the fight in finishing 4m from the winner. Taking them all the way here two starts back from gate 1, he can look to take control and from the front dictate to victory.

BONNIE PRINCE LOUIS (5) was sent forward and able to take control last time out was trying to repel the challengers when finishing a half-head in arrears of the winner BITCOIN. Just 3m away the start prior, he might need to do it tough here but can press on with it to issue a challenge.

SCOTCH EN ICE (1) started from inside the second line last time and was soon snookered away when 7m from the winner. With the trail in behind the speed, the pegs will be the right spot to be.

OAXACAN DREAM (8) faced gate 10 last start at the 2138m, and she was picking up nice metres in the closing stages to grab the bronze. Runner-up in both mare’s features, she will be searching for the gaps.

SELECTIONS: SOEXTRA (3), BONNIE PRINCE LOUIS (5), SCOTCH EN ICE (1), OAXACAN DREAM (8)
SUGGESTED BET: Flexi trifecta 3 / 1-5-8 / 1-5-8

RACE THREE

Despite landing gate 6, the recent form lines of ANIMADO (6) look superior to those of his opponents. Yet to miss the board in four starts here at The Creek, he has claimed a pair of wins and his defeats have been by a neck and a nose. He can press the issue to get forward to capitalise.

SAILALONG SINBAD (1) darted through from gate 1 on The Triangle last start and once in control was able to take them all the way after starting deep in the red. Bouncing back into winning form with that win after wilting when chasing the hat-trick the start prior, he has the gate to challenge.

THE HIGH COMMANDER (12) returns from a brief let up after finishing down the line as a beaten fav last time out. Blowing the cobwebs out with an easy trial, he is given no favours from 12.

LETS BLAZE (10) was chasing down the hat-trick last start when settled in the trail from inside the second line when finishing 2m from the winner COPPERFIELD. He can be joining in late here.

SELECTIONS: ANIMADO (6), SAILALONG SINBAD (1), THE HIGH COMMANDER (12), LETS BLAZE (10)
SUGGESTED BET: ANIMADO (6) to win

RACE FOUR

Claiming his first win last week since resuming from a spell, INFATUATION (8) had the benefit of gate 1 where he sat in the trail and then made full use of the passing lane to arrive. Grabbing 3^rd in nice style two starts back, he maps for the trip behind the leader and can look to rinse and repeat.

MAKE MINE MEMPHIS (5) added another minor to the form card last week, finishing in the money at his past four in succession now. It was a tough effort after grinding outside the leader and finishing 4m astern of the passing lane victor INFATUATION. He will need to do it tough again.

KEY LARGO (1) overcame the second line and the 2138m to claim a veteran’s event two starts back. Not suited when asked to sit parked from gate 6 last time, he will be trying to take them all the way.

BOMBADIER JUJON (4) was strong to the line here two starts back when grabbing the silver behind BETTERTHANDIAMONDS, 3m in arrears. He will be working home wide again here to feature.

SELECTIONS: INFATUATION (8), MAKE MINE MEMPHIS (5), KEY LARGO (1), BOMBADIER JUJON (4)
SUGGESTED BET: INFATUATION (8) to win

RACE FIVE

Landing another tricky alley here, BONNIES DANCE (10) was sectionally superb last time out after retreating from gate 5 to secure position. Rattling home in the closing stages behind BETTERTHANAROCKET, it had followed a tidy first up effort behind UPTOWN BEACHGIRL. Tempo will aid her chances.

MY ULTIMATE VICTOR (3) started from inside the second line on Tuesday and was soon buried three back over the mile. Finding space to get clear near the top of the straight, he was attacking the line in style when the gap opened to arrive in a new career PB. Settling handy aids his challenging chances.

ONE LAST ROLL (2) was a Redcliffe winner three starts back when sent to the front from gate 5 and able to see it out. Down the line at his past two, he can be firing some early bullets here.

CHAMONIX (7) is afforded no favours from the outside paint as he looks to recapture some better form. Nearer the rear in three runs back from a spell, he secures the chance to be sharper here.

SELECTIONS: BONNIES DANCE (10), MY ULTIMATE VICTOR (3), ONE LAST ROLL (2), CHAMONIX (7)
SUGGESTED BET: BONNIES DANCE (10) to win

RACE SIX

Coming into this race with a last start victory over the trip from gate 1, TINGE OF FEAR (10) can do it form the other end this week. Soon hemmed away three back on the poles last week, when shaking clear, she let down strongly to arrive on the wire. Runner-up in both previous starts, she can repeat.

LOVIN MISS DIXIE (5) pounced on the poles from gate 2 on Tues and was looking to take them all the way. Collared in the latter stages by MY ULTIMATE VICTOR, it was her best run in three starts since returning from a NSW campaign. In this line up, she can get forward to issue a challenge.

IMA BEACH BABE (4) was sent to the post as fav here on Tues and from gate 4 was sent forward but repelled early secured the 1x1 trail. Holding on for 3^rd, she can settle handy enough to feature again.

SHEREACTS (8) found the back of the leader at Marburg two starts back and then found the gaps when needed to charge over the top. Strong to the line last start, she will be probing again.

SELECTIONS: TINGE OF FEAR (10), LOVIN MISS DIXIE (5), IMA BEACH BABE (4), SHEREACTS (8)
SUGGESTED BET:  TINGE OF FEAR (10) to win

 

RACE SEVEN

Placed at her past three in succession, LADY AVANA (4) was charging home here last week after being snookered away from inside the second line to get within 1m of the winner. Runner-up two starts back after leading every step bar the one that counted, with the right trip she can arrive.

MOLLIESMARYELLE (6) was sent forward from this gate last time out and kept them rolling after a 27 flat opener. Trying to break free, she was out of bullets and faded late. Making an error in the Forever Gold two starts back, she can press on with it here to issue the challenge.

MARIANNA BROMAC (1) claimed a mare’s qualifier here last week from outside the second line. Save for the closing raid, she charged home to arrive with a head to spare. From the gate she can feature.

MISS VERSTAPPEN (8) started from the ace last time out where she was soon shuffled to three back and then trying to make ground as CALA JANE arrived. With second line options, she is a place hope.

SELECTIONS: LADY AVANA (4), MOLLIESMARYELLE (6), MARIANNA BROMAC (1), MISS VERSTAPPEN (8)
SUGGESTED BET: LADY AVANA (4) to win

RACE EIGHT

Still yet to claim her first victory of the season after 24 attempts, DANCINTOTHEBEAT (6) is going well enough to overcome that anomaly in this line up. Just a neck away from the winner MARIANNA BROMAC here last week, it followed a 2^nd behind subsequent winner MAJIC MOMENT two back.

MISS MIA (3) was a Redcliffe winner three starts back when sent to the front from gate 3 and dictating the pace was able to claim a 6m margin. Luckless from inside the second line two starts back, she secures the chance to get forward from this gate and throw down the challenge.

SHESA POCKETROCKET (1) started from gate 3 two starts back and was making the closing challenge when grabbing 2^nd to A WHOLE LOTTA ROSIE. Strong to the line last week, she will be coiled.

WATCHFUL LADY (7) is given no favours from the outside gate here after finishing as the runner-up last week from gate 1. Beaten a head in that battle, she still has podium claims here.

SELECTIONS: DANCINTOTHEBEAT (6), MISS MIA (3), SHESA POCKETROCKET (1), WATCHFUL LADY (7)
SUGGESTED BET: DANCINTOTHEBEAT (6) to win

RACE NINE

There was much to be enthused by the first effort of UNCLE SHANK (6) against the FFA performers out of the Be Good Johnny. Starting from the second line, he was under 3m from the winner BLACKSADANCE, with some slick closing panels. Franking that with his first win at 2138m last start, can he out-sprint them?

NORTHVIEW HUSTLER (3) looked to have every conceivable last week after pinching a pedestrian 39.2 lead time followed with a 61.4 opening half. That set it up for a last half blitz where he was worried out of it by MACH DA VINCI. He can take control here and a more genuine tempo will see him set the target.

BIG WHEELS (5) led with ease over this trip last time out and after a steady 58.4 opening half it developed into a turn and burn. Putting them away through a 26.3 closer, the gate makes it an ask here.

SELECTIONS: UNCLE SHANK (6), NORTHVIEW HUSTLER (3), BIG WHEELS (5)
SUGGESTED BET: UNCLE SHANK (6) to win

RACE TEN

A competitive trot to round out the night where you could make a case for any of the 8 to reign supreme. With great manners STRESS FACTOR (3) looks to get the right set up here. Stepping to the front last start over this trip, he was nabbed by subsequent winner INDEFENSIBLE. He will be gripping on.

FATHER CHRISTMAS (1) tackled the mobile 2138m last start where he was asked to do it the tough way outside the leader. Fighting hard to be 10m away, it followed a midfield return when off 50m on the tight Marburg track. Back to the front under these conditions, he can be positioned to challenge.

GEE UP NEDDY (7) has been consistent, hitting the board in 4 of his past 5 attempts, the latest when off 30m and finishing 4m from INDEFENSIBLE. With the right trip he will be joining in.

IM THE COMMANDO (6) has been in great touch and will appreciate stepping from the 10m here. 3^rd to ZEALOUS SPUR two back from the 20m, he was a winner three back from that same impost.

SELECTIONS: STRESS FACTOR (3), FATHER CHRISTMAS (1), GEE UP NEDDY (7), IM THE COMMANDO (6)
SUGGESTED BET: STRESS FACTOR (3) to win
