Albion Park Race 9 - Garrards Horse & Hound Qualifying Pace
IRON CLAD (1) has been solid without winning of late, last time drawing this same barrier and chasing along the sprint lane to be beaten less than 3m. That line-up was stronger than this one so he gets his chance to break through. MY ULTIMATE BUDDHA (5) came from the back row last time but looks better suited by this barrier having produced some good efforts prior including a second here three back. MAEBEE (6) was first up for nearly seven weeks when placed for the new yard here last time. Draws wider but should strip fitter. MIGHTY JOLT (8) draws for a trail and brings consistent form from Redcliffe with a win and three placings from his last four.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Our Benson at this track over 1660m in a No NR on May 3 at $4.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Attachment at this track over 1660m in a No NR on May 17 at $4. Nice effort last time. Inside draw will assist and gets his chance.

Last start was well back in the run when 8th (Fr6) over 1660m at this track beaten 12 m by Botticelli (2:00.10) in NR 43 to 48 on May 27 at $8.50. Two runs back was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr6) over 1660m at this track, beaten 13 m by Barry Limbo (1:57.90) in No NR on May 17 at $126. Hard to make a case.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 7th (Sr2) over 2138m at this track, beaten 19 m by Still Rollin (2:34.20) in No NR on May 24 at $3.50. The start before 5th (Fr3) over 1660m after showing early pace at this track beaten 7 m by Attachment (1:58.00) in No NR on May 17 at $5. Worth another chance. Great chance to bounce back.

Two back was well beaten into sixth after a quick start, behind Pops Legacy at Bathurst over 1730m in a NR up to 55 on April 23 at $12. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Six Times A Lady at this track over 1660m in a No NR M on May 24 at $4.20. With further improvement can go one better.

Solid run when beaten by 2.5 m finishing third behind Mach Assassin at Redcliffe over 1780m in a NR 54 to 60 on May 13 at $5. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Firebolt at Redcliffe over 947m in a NR 54 to 60 MANUAL PACERS on May 21 at $2.20. Has the ability to figure prominently.
