Albion Park Race 4 - Catch The Fire At Somerset Farms Qualifying Pace
CHARGE AHEAD (8) has been freshened since three successive seconds at Menangle, the latest in the G1 Chariots of Fire. That is very strong form for this and he won the last time he raced here. Draws for a trail and will be hard to stop. IRON CLAD (5) has been competitive of late. Missed by a nose two back and kept the ball rolling last time when fourth from this barrier. Should be close to his peak now. OUR INDIFFERENCE (3) suffered interference and broke last start but had recorded a win and two placings from the previous three starts. Should have no excuses from this advantageous draw so deserves another chance. Last-start placegetter ZOOM PARTY (2) is in the mix again from a low draw.

Finished up last campaign with a win at this track, but hasn't been as effective this campaign with a first-up effort 7th (Sr1) over 1660m at this track, at the bell was 5th-7.3m on the pegs beaten 15 m by Rock Supreme (1:57.50) in NR up to 70 on April 11 at $31. Fitter now and could feature from the pegs.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing fourth behind Studleigh Punter at this track over 2138m in a No NR on April 12 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Lethal Louie at this track over 1660m in a No NR on April 19 at $7.50. Can be thereabouts.

Last start was well back in the run when 9th (Fr7) over 1660m after being wide early at this track beaten 12 m by Lethal Louie (1:57.70) in No NR on April 19 at $5. Before that, a solid effort when 3rd (Sr3) over 2138m at this track, beaten 6 m by Studleigh Punter (2:33.80) in No NR on April 12 at $14. Closer draw this time so worth another chance.

Freshened-up since the last run 56 days ago. Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 1.5 m second behind Bay Of Biscay at Menangle over 1609m 4yo G1 No NR last start. Before that was beaten a head second again at Menangle in 4yo G3 No NR on February 22. Brings strong form and will be hard to stop.
