Albion Park Race 1 - 2025 1Equine Australasian Young Drivers Championship Heat 10 (Band 5)
ROCKET CITY (10) made it three wins from four starts at this circuit and distance since joining Donny Smith for this campaign when he crossed to the lead before scoring by 1.8m last time. Cops a back row draw but is going well enough to overcome that. SKYLORD (2) has come from wider barriers at his last couple and hasn't been too far off the placegetters. Led and fought on for second in Sydney four back so can be prominent from the low draw. JORDY (1) is close to a win off back-to-back seconds here. On a quick back-up from Tuesday and gets his chance from the ace draw. BETTERTHAN POPSY (6) has been racing consistently and is worth including after placing from a similar barrier last week while KUZMA (8) draws for a trail and can be competitive.

Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Miracle Moose at this track over 2138m in a 7yo+ NR 70 to 99 on July 15 at $4.50. Working up to a win and gets his chance from this draw.

Last start 5th (Fr6) over 1660m at this track beaten 21 m by Our Goat (1:55.40) in B 5 No NR on July 12 at $19. Before that, 4th (Fr7) over 1660m after being wide early at this track beaten 13 m by Our Goat (1:55.80) in B 5 No NR on July 4 at $4.80. Has been coming from wider barriers so is a player from this lower draw.

Didn't do much at the last run, 10th (Sr4) over 1660m at this track beaten 22 m by Arrive (1:54.60) in NR 60 to 75 on July 12 at $34. Before that was well back in the run when 5th (Fr6) over 1660m at this track beaten 10 m by Rocket City (1:55.10) in B 5 No NR on July 4 at $19. Needs to lift.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr7) over 2138m at this track beaten 12 m by Amami (2:32.30) in NR up to 75 on July 11 at $151. Two runs back 5th (Fr5) over 2040m at Redcliffe, beaten 10 m by Betterthan Popsy (2:30.60) in NR up to 75 on July 3 at $34. Cannot enthuse on what we have seen of late.

Last start good run despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr5) over 1660m at this track beaten 9 m by Arrive (1:54.60) in NR 60 to 75 on July 12 at $101. Two runs back won by 1.5 m after showing early speed, (Fr3) at Redcliffe (2:30.60) beating Vinsanity in NR up to 75 on July 3 at $3.80. Has been thereabouts of late and can play a role in the finish.

Looked good last start. Won by 2.5 m (Sr1) at Redcliffe (2:08.70) beating Rolling Bonus in NR 52 to 57 on July 9 at $4.60. Two runs back 3rd (Sr1) over 2138m at this track beaten 9 m by Pumpkin Pat (2:36.90) in NR 56 to 64 on July 1 at $11. This looks too much of a step up.

Hard to fault of late. Last start won by 1.75 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr5) at this track (1:55.10) beating Our Vincent Can Gogh in B 5 No NR on July 4 at $2. In form so can overcome the second draw to score again.
