Albion Park Race 3 - Queensland Young Drivers Championship Heat 3
KASH TIN (9) was tough in victory last week when he came form wider on this row and did some work before settling in the death seat and scoring by close to 6m at this circuit and distance. He can go on with the job. MIGHTY JOLT (8) has joined the Shame Graham yard and brings solid form from NSW including a Wagga placing two back and a last-start fourth at Bathurst. No harm in drawing here with the sprint lane to rely upon. Can make an immediate impact. IM BOO (2) draws lower than when he was forced to race parked last start and was solid when placed two back. First-up placegetter GEM PUNTER PETE (3) strips fitter and should get every chance from a favourable draw.

Didn't do much last start, was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr5) over 1660m at this track beaten 30 m by Its Electrifying (1:56.40) in NR 49 to 53 on March 18 at $34. Before that 9th (Fr1) over 1660m at this track was 5th-8.3m on the pegs at the bell, beaten 11 m by Elegant Grooves (1:56.00) in NR up to 75 on February 25 at $2.80. Hard to have here without sharp improvement.

Last start was well beaten into sixth after a quick start, behind Cote Dazur at Redcliffe over 1780m in a NR 52 to 57 on March 19 at $12. Raced better the start before that with a good run when 3rd (Fr4) over 1850m after showing early speed at Marburg was leading by.8m 2WNC at the bell, beaten 13 m by B Mac C (2:15.50) in NR 48 to 52 on March 2 at $3.40. Deserves another chance.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr5) over 2040m after being wide early at Redcliffe, at the bell was 2nd-2.4m 2WNC beaten 17 m by Shackouttheback (2:28.20) in NR 51 to 55 on March 20 at $5.50. Showed ability the run before when she won by a nose (Sr2) at Redcliffe (2:10.70) beating Arnold Street in NR 47 to 52 on March 13 at $2.80 at the bell was leading 1m 2WNC. Top-three prospects.
