Albion Park Race 5 - Ladbrokes Ultimate Driver Heat 15 (Qualifying Pace)
Hard to knock the recent consistency of RISK TAKER (3) who has put together a string of top-three finishes at this venue including a win from a similar barrier three back. Hasn't missed by much when runner-up in both outings since. Draws to make an impact again. Former Victorian VINSANITY (6) created a big impression at his first outing since switching to Queensland, scoring by 8m at Redcliffe. That was his first start for a month so he should be improved and looks to have the scope to go through his grades now. KING OF TRUMPS (1) led to win here last month so has the speed to take advantage of the inside draw. DENNY ROCKS (9) is in the mix after placing from a similar draw here last week while KASH TIN (5) could be close to a win following back-to-back placings.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 8th (Fr2) over 1660m after showing early speed at this track beaten 8 m by Betting Origin (1:56.30) in No NR on February 15 at $2.80. The run previous 5th (Sr3) over 2138m after being wide early at this track beaten 4.5 m by Moops (2:36.00) in No NR on February 8 at $23. Draws the pegs so expect a better effort.

Last start 7th (Sr1) over 1660m at this track, beaten 25 m by Rock Supreme (1:57.10) in NR up to 70 on February 14 at $13. Before that, was well back in the run when 4th (Fr7) over 2138m at this track beaten 19 m by Rock Supreme (2:34.70) in NR up to 70 on February 7 at $23. This looks a suitable assignment.

Solid run when a close second after a quick start, behind Moops at this track over 2138m in a No NR on February 8 at $1.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.1 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Betting Origin at this track over 1660m in a No NR on February 15 at $6.50. Racing well and can go one better.

Didn't do much last start, 5th (Fr2) over 1660m at this track, beaten 5 m by Aphrodite (1:57.50) in NR 54 to 60 on February 18 at $9. Before that was driven from back in the field when 10th (Fr7) over 2138m at this track beaten 40 m by Barrett (2:32.60) in NR 50 to 55 on February 11 at $41. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Last start good run when 2nd (Fr1) over 1660m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 11 m by Jamaican Rock (1:55.80) in NR 56 to 64 on February 11 at $14. Two runs back won by a nose as favourite when quickly away, (Fr1) at Redcliffe (2:10.50) beating Windy Hill Wally in NR up to 75 on February 5 at $2. Decent effort last start. One of the exotic chances.

Two back was well beaten into seventh after being driven well back, behind Birkirkara at this track over 2138m in a NR 54 to 60 on February 4 at $34. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing third behind Betting Origin at this track over 1660m in a No NR on February 15 at $14. Expected to go well again.
