RACE 1
ROCK YOUR SOCKS (7) was running on well late last start when working into the clear. Appears to face another tricky draw in this race but does follow out a horse that may elect to hold a forward position which should see her get every chance.
BOSTON ASSASSIN (1) has been closing in on a maiden victory having run a number of good recent placings. He hit the line well again last start when narrowly missing behind Faultinmystars. He should get every chance from the good draw.
LETS SCRAP (3) has been taking on slightly stronger maiden fields in recent starts at Albion Park. This race looks easier but he does draw a touch awkwardly in gate 3 although with only one horse on the back row he does have options whether to press on or be driven quietly early.
OUR ULTIMATE BEATY (5) worked in the early stages last start before fading out of the race late when appearing to have every chance out in front. She had been racing well prior to last start and may be suited by doing no early work in this race.
SELECTIONS: ROCK YOUR SOCKS (7), BOSTON ASSASSIN (1), LETS SCRAP (3), OUR ULTIMATE BEATY (5)
SUGGESTED BET: ROCK YOUR SOCKS (7) to win.
RACE 2
WEREGOINGTOGETCHA (1) should have enough gate speed to drive through and lead before having options. She elected to take a trail last start and was narrowly beaten by Art Of Rock. That race was over the 2040, stepping back to the 1780 she may look to take them all the way.
THE CASUAL GOOSE (7) should get a good run through on the back of a gate speed horse. She has been racing well including an impressive win from the stand start at this track.
MAJOR LINCOLN (5) ran on strongly last start into second behind Emmaleen. He should secure a good run again in this race off the speed and will just be relying on a genuine early tempo to bring him into the race.
FAVREAU (8) was forced to do plenty of work outside the leader last start over the 2040 and just got tired late. He should get an easier run in this race starting on the back row. Should be thereabouts again.
SELECTIONS: WEREGOINGTOGETCHA (1), THE CASUAL GOOSE (7), MAJOR LINCOLN (5), FAVREAU (8)
SUGGESTED BET: FAVREAU (8) to win.
RACE 3
HOLD ONTO YA BLING (3) has good early speed and draws outside of two horses which aren’t noted for their early speed. Last time he was able to lead he scored an easy win at this track when leading all the way over the 1780. Taking on the 2040 appears a query if he is forced to work early.
COTE DAZUR (4) has been racing in good form. He was able to battle away for fourth last start at Albion Park behind Jensville. He has good gate speed but is unlikely to be able to cross in the early stages of this race.
BETTERTHANPOPSY (6) has been taking on much stronger races than this in recent starts at Albion Park including a seventh in a strong race behind Send It from the stand start. He has had success racing over this track and trip and although he has drawn widest he appears hard to beat again.
SERGIOS ROCKET (7) was a good winner five starts ago when taking on a strong mares race at Albion Park over La Derniere and Cheer Leader. She should get a good run in this race off the speed and can be running into it late if the race is run to suit.
SELECTIONS: HOLD ONTO YA BLING (3), COTE DAZUR (4), BETTERTHANPOPSY (6), SERGIOS ROCKET (7)
SUGGESTED BET: HOLD ONTO YA BLING (3) to win.
RACE 4
MISTERPRESIDENT (8) took on a much stronger race taken out by Tremendous Sensation last start at Albion Park where he wasn’t beaten far in seventh. He drops back in grade into this race and draws to do no work early which seems to suit his racing pattern. Looks hardest to beat.
THE REAL ROCKETMAN (4) may look to press forward in this race and find a prominent position. He was able to push forward last start before finding the front and going on to run a close up third behind Weregoingtogetcha and Art Of Rock.
AMILLIONCHANCES (6) due to a recent early error finds himself ODM again in this race. He ran well to get into third despite being shuffled back in the early stages last start. He is capable of doing work in this type of grade and should be thereabouts.
ART ON FIRE (7) was able to lead last start and appeared the winning turning into the home straight before just getting tired and was nabbed late by The Torque Effect. He appears well graded in this race but will need luck from an awkward draw.
SELECTIONS: MISTERPRESIDENT (8), THE REAL ROCKETMAN (4), AMILLIONCHANCES (6), ART ON FIRE (7)
SUGGESTED BET: MISTERPRESIDENT (8) to win.
RACE 5
SAMMYS SECRET (2) has good early speed and is likely to look to press onto the lead in the early stages. He faced the breeze two starts ago and wasn’t beaten far when running fifth. He should be hard to beat in this company.
WANDARY DELIGHT (4) was narrowly out of the placings last start after racing off the speed. She should get another good run off the speed in this race and if there’s a genuine early tempo she can be running into it late.
MISS HATTIE (9) was a winner five starts ago in a similar type of race at Albion Park. She is likely to secure a good run off the speed in this race and should be running on late if the race is run to suit.
ROSARITO (7) will be relying on luck inside the back row following out a horse that’s likely to be shuffled back in the early stages. He wasn’t beaten far last start in a stronger race at Albion Park.
SELECTIONS: SAMMYS SECRET (2), WANDARY DELIGHT (4), MISS HATTIE (9), ROSARITO (7)
SUGGESTED BET: SAMMYS SECRET (2) to win.
RACE 6
ALWAYS LOCKSLEY (6) was forced to do plenty of work last start in a quickly run race at this track and trip. He is likely to be forced to do the work again in this race in what looks a slightly weaker race. He should be hard to beat.
TIGER TOMMY (8) was a winner five starts ago when running over the top late. She has since raced well including a good last start fourth behind Mikis Joe. She should get a good run off the speed in this race and if the race is run to suit she can be running into it late.
ULTIMATE ARK (7) has run three seconds in a row including a good last start second to Rainbowsend who was able to secure an economical run on the leaders back. He should get a good run through early and if the race is run to suit he can be getting into it late.
RAINBOW TITAN (1) has early speed and should be able to dictate in the early stages of this race. He was crossed in a race over the 1780 at this track and didn’t have much luck when running a close up fifth.
SELECTIONS: ALWAYS LOCKSLEY (6), TIGER TOMMY (8), ULTIMATE ARK (7), RAINBOW TITAN (1)
SUGGESTED BET: ALWAYS LOCKSLEY (6) to win.
RACE 7
THE TIGER ARMY (2) showed good gate speed recently at Albion Park to find the lead before rating good time out in front. He isn’t a horse that generally shows brilliant gate speed but does appear to find a race where he may be able to press forward and lead which would see him get every chance in this race.
BUDDY PERFECT (8) trialled well behind Hector recently at Albion Park who is a much higher assessed horse. He is likely to have derived benefit from that outing and from a good trailing draw he is likely to get a good run not too far off the speed in this race.
GREAT ACHIEVER (9) has been racing well at this track over the 2040 rating good time in recent wins. He is likely to find this company a bit tougher but does draw to do no work early and should get a good run. If the race is run to suit he can be running on late.
HYDEEHO (7) was able to secure a good run behind the leader two starts ago before closing off nicely into a close up second. He is racing well and if the luck comes at the right time he can be getting into it late.
SELECTIONS: THE TIGER ARMY (2), BUDDY PERFECT (8), GREAT ACHIEVER (9), HYDEEHO (7)
SUGGESTED BET: THE TIGER ARMY (2) to win.
