Albion Park Race 9 - Garrards Changeover 2Yo Classic
BARSBY (7) looks a colt of good promise having made an immediate impact on debut four weeks ago, scoring by 3 metres at this circuit. May need a bit of luck negotiating a wide starting position but he should have come on and could be bound for better things. WONTYOUSTAYWITHME (1) progressed off a debut second to BARSBY to win last start by close 5 metres at this venue and distance. The inside draw gives her a chance to turn the tables on the top pick. IDEAL BRONSKI (8) scored by 4.6 metres when lining up for the second time here last time. Has trialled since and there is plenty of room for improvement so another win would not surprise. STRIPES (6) debuted impressively last start, scoring by 5.3 metres. Up in grade but has of scope for improvement.

Last start won by 5 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr2) at this track (1:58.40) beating James Alfred in 2yo MAIDEN on April 8 at $1.15 at the bell was 2nd-4.4m on the pegs. Chances enhanced by the inside draw. Drawn favourably and could go on with it.

Two runs back won by 7 m when driven back in the field, (Fr3) held up early, at Redcliffe (2:15.30) beating I Am Caesar in MAIDEN on April 10 at $3.20. Prefer others on this occasion.

Two-year-old filly (Captain Crunch - Miss Ruby Sunshine) making her debut. Showed ability when second at Albion Park in a trial on April 8 over 1660m. Placed in a recent trial but would want to see a betting push.

Was on debut by 3 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr2) at this track (1:59.70) beating Wontyoustaywithme in 2yo No NR on March 28 at $1.75. Looks talented enough to overcome the wide draw to win again.
