Form Analysis: Albion Park Oct 22

RACE TWO

TRENTLEIGH (2) has hit a purple patch and lines up here shooting for the hat-trick after wins in 3 of his past 4 outings, all here at The Creek. Sent straight to the front last start from this same alley, he dictated to claim a 2m victory. Powering away the start prior, this is a step up, but he is firing.

REMEMBER BUBBLES (3) arrives in Qld to join the Jack Butler stable and brings form from the Central West of NSW. Beaten by a wide gate at Parkes 2 starts back, he was trying to wind up in the closing stages last start at Bathurst. Fresh for this assignment, he stays under notice.

SPEED OF SOUND (8) will require a slice of luck at some stage as she looks set to be buried in the run. Chasing hard for 2^nd to OUR EDUARDO DENARIO at her first Qld start last time out, she will be searching.

STUDLEIGH WILL (6) did not have much go his way last start at Marburg after landing a wide gate. Sent forward at Redcliffe 2 starts back before fading, limiting the early burn will be key.

SELECTIONS: TRENTLEIGH (2), REMEMBER BUBBLES (3), SPEED OF SOUND (8), STUDLEIGH WILL (6)
SUGGESTED BET: TRENTLEIGH (2) to win

RACE THREE

SOHO CASABLANCA (3) set the tempo last time from gate 1 and at his first look at the middle-distance, was left exposed in the closing stages as SHEZ GOT BLING who had the sit on him scooted past to score. An all the way winner 2 starts back, he gets his chance to atone from this alley.

TEE JAY CEE (10) settled in the 1x1 trail last start from gate 2 and waiting until the stretch to make his challenge, swept up strongly to claim a 2m victory. Hitting some nice areas in recent outings, he has 3 wins from his past 5 starts and with the right tempo in front can make a closing challenge.

ROWDYS ACE (1) eased from gate 5 last start and from back in the pack could not go on with it over the 2138m. This gate is a better fit and with the easy run in behind the action gives him place hopes.

SHEREACTS (9) settled in the running line from this same gate last time out and was trying to launch a closing raid as LETTUCEROLL swept home to score. Just 4m away, she can chime in off a similar trip.

SELECTIONS: SOHO CASABLANCA (3), TEE JAY CEE (10), ROWDYS ACE (1), SHEREACTS (9)

RACE FOUR

FLO RYDA (3) has been in nice touch and should find this a shade easier than his recent battles. Hemmed away from inside the 2^nd line last time, he did not get the space when needed behind ROCK FISHERMAN. Gate 7 was his undoing the start prior and with a slice of luck can strike.

CLASSIE AMERICAN (8) also looks to get in on a class drop for this assignment. Only collared in the closing strides by CAPTAIN NEMO 2 starts back, he found them too strong last start as VIRGIL claimed the spoils. With the 2^nd line options, he can make a challenge.

SHADOW MINISTER (1) released over this trip last start and from the pocket trail was 3m in arrears of the winner SPEAK WITH SAM. Taking them all the way at the mile 3 starts back, he has the gate to feature.

LOVE YOUR WORK (4) will take good benefit from his latest outing where he resumed from a spell. With a solid early tempo, he capitalised in claiming a swooping victory by pulling clear to post an 8m margin.

SELECTIONS: FLO RYDA (3), CLASSIE AMERICAN (8), SHADOW MINISTER (1), LOVE YOUR WORK (4)
SUGGESTED BET: FLO RYDA (3) to win

RACE FIVE

DREAM TO SHARE (6) gets back to claiming company which should be a huge benefit after landing wide gates in Saturday night events at his past 2. A gritty 2^nd when parked 2 starts back, nothing really made ground behind VIRGIL last time. A winner in successive claiming events prior, he can bounce back.

HANDSOME HERO (7) drops into the claiming ranks as he passes 12 months since his last victory. Buried last start and chasing gamely when not far from the airborne KIWIS ARE FLYING, he was luckless the start prior when trying to secure position. The gate stings but he can throw it down.

SABRAGE (4) has been kept fresh since his last appearance when setting the speed but unable to repel the power of DREAM TO SHARE. With early bullets to fire, he will be in the action.

BLUE MOON RISING (5) could not go with them last start as ROCK FISHERMAN landed the prize and the start prior, he was trying to make late ground at Redcliffe. A solid tempo will help his cause.

SELECTIONS: DREAM TO SHARE (6), HANDSOME HERO (7), SABRAGE (4), BLUE MOON RISING (5)
SUGGESTED BET: DREAM TO SHARE (6) to win

RACE SIX

COULDNTMISAFALCON (8) settled rearward from gate 9 at Redcliffe last start and was charging home wide off the track in the closing stages when just a half-neck from the winner. Luckless the start prior, she will get the easy trip and just needs momentum into the lane.

ILLAWONG DREAMTIME (3) fired off the arm from gate 4 at Redcliffe to lead last start over the 1780m trip and from the front set a steady tempo but was unable to see it out as CALL ME TRISH closed out on him to score. Too far back the start prior, settling handy can see him challenge.

REGAL NIGHTSHADE (1) will appreciate a return to the sprint trip from a good gate after wilting here last week when asked to tackle the 2138m. At his best at this trip in front, he gets a chance to turn things around.

STUDLEIGH MARK (4) will need to take another step here as he shoots for a hat-trick of victories. Breaking the maiden tag 2 back at Redcliffe, he backed it up with a Marburg win and can chime in.

SELECTIONS: COULDNTMISAFALCON (8), ILLAWONG DREAMTIME (3), REGAL NIGHTSHADE (1), STUDLEIGH MARK (4)
SUGGESTED BET: COULDNTMISAFALCON (8) to win

 

RACE SEVEN

A WHOLE LOTTA ROSIE (1) has been kept fresh since her last outing when trying to take them all the way over the 2138m but unable to see it out when fading in the stretch. A winner here 3 back at the mile when swooping late, she lands all the options here to return in winning style.

CARLOS BROMAC (6) went to Marburg last start where from the 2^nd line he was wide off the track trying to make a closing challenge and forced to settle for the bronze. Only 5m from SLICK BLASTER in a qualifier the start prior, the gate makes it tough, but he can still make a play.

ONETWO THREECHEESE (8) was after a hat-trick of wins last start at Redcliffe when setting the tempo out in front but unable to fight them off when beaten a nose hair. He will be probing.

REMEMBER ME NOW (4) was a winner here 3 starts back at this trip when firing out to take control and hold on for the prize. A wide gate stung his chances last start and from this alley he can fire one across the bow early.

SELECTIONS: A WHOLE LOTTA ROSIE (1), CARLOS BROMAC (6), ONETWO THREECHEESE (8), REMEMBER ME NOW (4)
SUGGESTED BET: Exotics 1-4-6-8

 

RACE EIGHT

THE ROCKNROLL KING (4) overcame the 2^nd line to power home in the closing stages to a 2138m victory here 3 starts back and followed that with a late charging 2^nd to SPEAK WITH SAM. Making the most of his best gate to take them all the way last start, he can look for the back-to-back victory.

CAPTAIN NEMO (10) was asked to roll the sleeves and do it the tough way last start over the 2138m and never shirked the task when finishing just 5m from KIWIS ARE FLYING. A winner his previous 3 in succession- all from the 2^nd line- he finds similar conditions and can look to throw it down once more.
 
BELLA BALL TERROR (5) settled in the 1x1 trail lasts start and was strong to the line when just 3m in arrears of THE ROCKNROLL KING. He could have been closer with better luck the start prior behind DEUS EX and has podium claims again.

COLONEL JOY (1) started from the 2^nd line last start and was picking off some late metreage when grabbing 3^rd behind the dictating winner SPEAK WITH SAM. With good early hustle, he can feature.

SELECTIONS: THE ROCKNROLL KING (4), CAPTAIN NEMO (10), BELLA BALL TERROR (5), COLONEL JOY (1)

RACE NINE

AKARANA PRINCE (5) will take good benefit from his Qld debut when landing gate 6 and asked to grind it out when sent to sit parked over the 2138m. Grafting it out and still fighting when within 2m of the winner, he finds an open contest where the tempo looks hot early.

DESPONDENT (7) was building towards a victory after some eye-catching efforts that included a 2^nd to REMEMBER ME NOW when buried in the run. Franking that assessment when leading all the way from the ace to claim a qualifier last start, he is slammed with the car park here but is going well enough to challenge.

LETTUCEROLL (3) eased from gate 7 last time out and settle rearward had the momentum over the closing stages to sweep but for the prize. Taking them all the way here 4 starts back, he is in the mix.

LITTLELIONELJAMES (2) had not really shown much in 3 runs back from a spell until his latest start where he was able to close out over the top to claim the prize. This is tougher but settling handy from the gate is a plus.

SELECTIONS: AKARANA PRINCE (5), DESPONDENT (7) LETTUCEROLL (3), LITTLELIONELJAMES (2)
SUGGESTED BET: AKARANA PRINCE (5) to win


 

RACE ONE

TAM OSHANTER (12) pressed forward to find the front last start from the mobile and was then trying to stave off the closing challenge. Unable to repel EYRE I GO, he was able to hold on for the silver, beaten a head. The gate stings but all the power looks drawn out the back.

BOURBONONTHEROCKS (11) is in super form with a top-2 at her past 6 in succession split with 3 wins and 3 2nds. Offering too much closing power from her 50m impost last start, she chased gamely under mobile conditions 2 starts back and will be throwing it down again here.

MAJESTIC HARRY (7) has crossed the ditch to join the D W Graham barn, arriving a 3-time winner. Runner up at Cambridge at his past 2 starts, he familiarised himself with The Creek with a tidy trial.

CARNERA (10) started off 50m at his first start here in Qld and was making nice ground over the closing stages behind BOURBONONTHEROCKS. 2m in arrears after releasing the lead last start, he can chime in.

SELECTIONS: TAM OSHANTER (12), BOURBONONTHEROCKS (11), MAJESTIC HARRY (7), CARNERA (10)
