Albion Park Race 8 - Changeover @ Burwood Stud Mares Qualifying Pace
FIREBOLT (2) finished second last start over 947m at Redcliffe, beaten 8 metres, after a good win at Redcliffe the run prior. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Hard to beat. OUR ULTIMATE EBONY (10) has had four runs this prep without filling a placing. Was again unable to find the frame last time when she finished seventh over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 11 metres. May just need a bit of luck at some point from this difficult draw. This should be an easier assignment, and she can take this out. KYLOAN QUEEN (5) is a big chance following a run of three top-three finishes, the latest at this track eight days ago. Real threat to the top selections. A PERFECT DANCE (3) should not have any excuses from the favourable draw. Watch closely.

Last start 8th (Fr1) over 1660m at this track beaten 9 m by Sweet Options (1:59.50) in No NR M on May 30 at $4.80. Two runs back 3rd (Sr1) over 1660m at this track beaten 3.5 m by Six Times A Lady (1:58.10) in No NR M on May 24 at $34. This looks too tough.

Fair performance when beaten by 4.5 m finishing fourth after being driven well back, behind Into The Mystic at this track over 1660m in a No NR M on May 24 at $16. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Mikis Joe at Redcliffe over 2040m in a NR 51 to 55 on May 29 at $4.20. Sure to be in the mix.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following May 13 run. Last start posted a big 5.5 m win when driven back in the field, (Fr4) held up early, at Redcliffe (2:10.20) beating Much Bettor in NR 45 to 49 on June 1 at $4.40. This race will be harder than that win. Not out of this.

Recent efforts haven't been up to her best. Last start 7th (Fr4) over 1609m after showing early pace at Menangle, beaten 11 m by Boulevardofdreams (1:52.70) in NR up to 75 M on May 24 at $16. The run previous was well back in the run when 8th (Fr10) over 1609m at Menangle beaten 22 m by Dance And Deliver (1:53.20) in NR up to 75 on April 22 at $21. Better than last start and can improve sharply.
