Albion Park Race 8 - Changeover @ Burwood Stud Mares Qualifying Pace
REASON TO SHINE (10) has placed in both outings since a fresh win at Redcliffe, last week finishing second at this circuit and just 1.2 metres from the winner. May need luck from the back row but is going well enough to win a race of this calibre. GOLDEN FIRE (9) was just a nose away in second when resuming here last week. Won her only second-up attempt so should be improved and is building a handy record at this venue. KYLOAN QUEEN (6) has taken her strike rate at this circuit and distance to 50 per cent by winning her last two starts, the latest from this barrier. Must respect along with SII SEMPRE TILLY (5) who has put together a string of wins and placings.

Last start was well back in the run when 5th (Fr5) over 1660m after being wide early at this track, beaten 8 m by MacS A Dude (1:59.40) in NR 41 to 46 on May 2 at $26. Two runs back 5th (Fr4) over 1660m after showing early pace at this track, at the bell was 3rd-8.1m on the pegs beaten 9 m by Happy As Can Be (1:58.60) in NR 41 to 46 on April 25 at $5.50. Not keen on her chances in this field.

Fair performance when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Sinabun at this track over 1660m in a NR 43 to 48 on April 29 at $3.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Little Hoofananny at this track over 1660m in a NR 44 to 49 on May 6 at $3.20. Nicely drawn so can feature again.

Two back was well beaten into sixth after being driven well back, behind Swell Time at this track over 1660m in a No NR M on April 26 at $61. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.3 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Saveeon at this track over 1660m in a No NR M on May 3 at $26. One of the chances.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr7) over 1660m at this track, beaten 1.75 m by Saveeon (1:58.50) in No NR M on May 3 at $51. Two runs back 7th (Fr5) over 1660m after racing wide at this track beaten 23 m by Swell Time (1:55.80) in No NR M on April 26 at $18. Might need easier.
