Albion Park Race 7 - Changeover @ Burwood Stud Mares Qualifying Pace
LUVARESCHS (2) resumes from a spell of five months after closing off last campaign in good form, winning a Listed Race at her last appearance at Newcastle. Steps out for a new yard and was second in a recent trial here. Should enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position so could kick off with a win. SWEET OPTIONS (8) was drawn wider on this row last start but from this barrier should be able to settle just behind them and wait on the sprint lane if necessary. Winner here two back so she is capable of a strong performance. OHANA DANCER (1) won from a wider barrier here three back so is on the radar from the ace draw. BROOKFIELDS BEAUTY (4) will be nearing peak fitness and is in the mix if she can recapture the form from two starts back that saw her finish third at this venue.

Good run when beaten by 4 m finishing fourth after showing early speed, behind Bradness June at this track over 1660m in a No NR M on April 12 at $11. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Indi Air Tonight at this track over 2138m in a No NR M on April 19 at $4.80. Can improve. In the mix again.

Didn't do much last time out, 7th (Sr3) over 2138m at this track beaten 7 m by Indi Air Tonight (2:36.70) in No NR M on April 19 at $9. Before that 5th (Fr5) over 1660m at this track beaten 4 m by Bradness June (1:58.70) in No NR M on April 12 at $26. Unlikely to threaten.

Failed to impress last start; 8th (Sr2) over 1660m at this track beaten 8 m by Bradness June (1:58.70) in No NR M on April 12 at $3.50. Showed ability the run before when she won by 1.1 m after showing early speed, (Fr4) at this track (2:35.00) beating Our Sweet Delight in NR 52 to 57 on April 4 at $4.60 at the bell was leading 3.5m on the pegs.
