Form Analysis: Albion Park Jul 30

RACE ONE

A tricky 2YO contest to open the day where six of the seven are first up from a spell. ISLA ROCHELLE (1) draws favourably with the options after winning on debut and then finishing with the bronze behind COOL AND CLASSY in the Breeders back in May.

ARRIVE (3) claimed the Breeders Consolation at her last appearance when taking them all the way with 8m to spare on the line in tidy time. Holding down 3^rd in the sizzling trial claimed by FATE AWAITS to prepare for the return, she can throw down the challenge.

UDDERLY SWEET (6) was put away after the Breeders when rolling forward to sit parked from gate 6 and grinding out a 5m deficit. He looked sharp in a recent trial.

BLING THE NOISE (4) is the only runner not resuming, bringing a smart last start victory to consider. Firing out to take them all the way, he is in the fight.

SELECTIONS: ISLA ROCHELLE (1), ARRIVE (3), UDDERLY SWEET (6), BLING THE NOISE (4)

RACE TWO

MY ULTIMATE FELIX (4) is a 2YO tackling this mixed maiden that is by Poster Boy out of the one-time mares’ class record holder here at The Creek, Annika Magic. Hitting the line strongly to claim a trial at earn the race ticket, he can bring it to the track on debut.

MAYWYNS MIGHTY MAC (5) has placed at his past two starts as he moves closer to a victory, the latest when hitting the line strongly for the silver in the APG Final behind HUNGER STRIKE. Despite the awkward gate, he can look to challenge.

SUGGESTED BET: MY ULTIMATE FELIX (4) to win

RACE THREE

Stepping out for the first time following a stable change last start, ALDEBARABSTILINSKI (4) was sent to the post as fav when forced to sit parked and grinding out a narrow 2^nd, grabbed in the closing stages by PANDA FOOEY. First up in a month in that run, the added fitness is a plus.

PANDA FOOEY (7) was safely into stride last start and was able to get to the front and once in control, fight them off to claim a 1m margin. His run the start prior was solid despite an error and positioning cheaply off the 10 can see him challenge.

CEEPEEKAY (10) was a winner here three starts back when resuming from a spell, winning in good style. Unplaced in both runs since in tougher company, she can bounce back here.

ALDEBARAN FONZ (1) was safely away before releasing for the trail last start and then used the passing lane to hold on for the silver. The inside late assists his chances of a repeat.

SELECTIONS: ALDEBARABSTILINSKI (4), PANDA FOOEY (7), CEEPEEKAY (10), ALDEBARAN FONZ (1)
SUGGESTED BET: ALDEBARABSTILINSKI (4) too win

RACE FOUR

An open trot contest where the start is all-important for JUST CALL ME MOLLY (2) who is normally a safe beginner. Finding the pocket trail off the 30m tape last start, she is better suited off the front tape and positioning on the speed is her best hope at capitalising.

MY RUMOUR HAS IT (3) stepped in her brilliant manner last start and worked to the front, despite the 20m tape. Pressured in the middle stages, she held on for the bronze, finishing 6m astern of the winner, HAMMER SON. She can challenge again.

INSTANT DELIGHT (12) was snookered on the fence last start in tougher company when 6m from the winner INDEFENSIBLE. There will be traffic to negotiate as she chases a podium spot.

BURKHARDT (11) was making some nice metres in the closing stages last start after facing a 40m impost. Contesting the Great Square the start prior, he can be making a run in this.

SELECTIONS: JUST CALL ME MOLLY (2), MY RUMOUR HAS IT (3), INSTANT DELIGHT (12), BURKHARDT (11)
SUGGESTED BET: JUST CALL ME MOLLY (2) win/place

RACE FIVE

The enigmatic HIDE AND SEEK (7) forced his way into the Great Square but made a starting error that ended any chance he had. Striking trouble, the start prior when a victim of circumstances, he is super at his best and bringing that here can see him cash in.

MY ULTIMATE EDDIE (3) chases a hat-trick of victories after successive victories at the same conditions he faces again here. Too strong for them after sitting parked and then pulling clear to a 13m margin last start, he can force the issue again here to chase the threepeat.

GLOBAL FLIGHT (8) will have the options as the sole runner off the back and can find a way clear of the poles early. Down the line last start from a 10m tape, he is in the mix.

TAM OSHANTER (4) tackled open company last start when finding the front from this same gate before releasing and just missing the podium behind CONSTANTINOPLE. He can feature again.

SELECTIONS: HIDE AND SEEK (7), MY ULTIMATE EDDIE (3), GLOBAL FLIGHT (8), TAM OSHANTER (4)
SUGGESTED BET: HIDE AND SEEK (7) to win

RACE SIX

Neber too far from the action in this grade, COMMODORE JUJON (1) will benefit from the gate which provides the options. Firing out to lead last start, he was in front over the 2138 and fought hard to be 3m from the winner. Claiming victory from this gate four runs back, he can capitalise.

STORMTIDE (4) is better suited at the sprint trip and gets back to those conditions after finishing down the line last start over the middle trip. Just a half-neck away two starts back at the mile when looming strongly, he can throw it down here.

KICKATINALONGPONY (8) was chasing the hat-trick last start when forced to work hard outside the leader at the middle trip and fighting hard for 3^rd. He will be probing for the gaps.

KASH US BACK (2) was beaten by gate 5 last start when retreating for position and then making some good metres in the closing stages. He can be thereabouts here.

SELECTIONS: COMMODORE JUJON (1), STORMTIDE (4), KICKATINALONGPONY (8), KASH US BACK (2)
SUGGESTED BET: COMMODORE JUJON (1) to win

RACE SEVEN

Despite another horror gate, APOLLO DREAMZ (7) is flying at present and has placed at his past two starts, the latest when strong to the line in the latter stages for 3^rd behind FREE THINKER in the Hayden. Just a half-head away the start prior, he can defy the gate to cash in.

LUVBITE (3) released last start after finding the front and then using the passing lane too the last shot when just a pimple short of the prize. Sitting parked in a starchy effort the start prior, he can press the issue early to issue the challenge.

ALTA SENSATION (4) was building towards something after successive placings and then here last week was able to finish best from the running line to claim victory. He is in the mix again.

DRIVE TO THE BEACH (10) was sent forward from the second line last start to get into the contest and holding on for the bronze when 4m from the winner. He can feature again.

SELECTIONS: APOLLO DREAMZ (7), LUVBITE (3), ALTA SENSATION (4), DRIVE TO THE BEACH (10)
SUGGESTED BET: APOLLO DREAMZ (7) to win

RACE EIGHT

Despite being faced with the outside front line; this looks the right line up for BRAEDOS LAD (7) to secure a breakthrough. Pressing to the front last time, he was under 3m from the winner MR MCLAREN which followed a similar margin to SEND IT. He is up to the task.

THE TAX CULLECTOR (3) should appreciate this grade after tackling the Hayden last time out when starting from inside the second line. Eased off the poles, he was left chasing as FREE THINKER arrived. He can press the button early to issue his challenge.

HAY THERE JOE (2) was luckless last start at Redcliffe, trying to secure position and then too far back in the pack. Settling closer will assist his chances.

R ELEVEN ART (1) was snagged off a wide gate last time out and when chasing short cuts when down the line behind BETTERTHAN POPSY. An improved gate is a huge asset.

SELECTIONS: BRAEDOS LAD (7), THE TAX CULLECTOR (3), HAY THERE JOE (2), R ELEVEN ART (1)
SUGGESTED BET: BRAEDOS LAD (7) to win

RACE NINE

SHES FULLOFSPIRIT (2) was a winner here five starts back when finishing over the top of them and pulling clear to a 9m margin. Bumping into some strong opponents since that victory, her latest outing was in the South East Oaks. Settling handy can see her the one to beat in this.

KASH TIN (9) tackled a qualifier last start when not finding the smoothest passage and forced to sit parked as AMERICAN SPIRIT darted through to score. Beaten just a half-head in each of his two prior outings, he can throw it down here.

LEITHEN BURN (8) has placed at his past two, the latest when finishing strongly to be under 3m from the winner HARRY KANE. He will be probing for the openings.

SMOKESHOW (1) was a winner here tow starts back over this trip when taking cover and darting home up the passing lane. A similar trip can present here.

SELECTIONS: SHES FULLOFSPIRIT (2), KASH TIN (9), LEITHEN BURN (8), SMOKESHOW (1)
SUGGESTED BET: Exotics

RACE TEN

Taken back from gate 5 last start, STUDLEIGH PUNTER (1) was strong to the line in the closing stages when running the winner, HOUSTON STREET to a half-head margin. Locked away two starts back, he attacked the line in the closing stages to arrive and the gate is a huge asset here.

GLENEAGLE VEE CEE (2) was heavily supported here three starts back from a wide gate and duly delivered when dictating on the engine.2m away last start when chasing from running line cover at the 2138, he can get handy to issue the challenge.

DELILAH ROSE (10) was runner-up here to starts back, pushing NOVANTA RISING to a half-neck margin. Attacking the line last start when a half-neck away, she can be thereabouts.

LETS GO BAILEY (8) was a winner from deep field here two starts back when closing hard to claim a narrow margin. Luckless last start, he can be probing for the openings.

SELECTIONS: STUDLEIGH PUNTER (1), GLENEAGLE VEE CEE (2), DELILAH ROSE (10), LETS GO BAILEY (8)
SUGGESTED BET: STUDLEIGH PUNTER (1) to win
