Albion Park Race 8 - Catch The Fire At Somerset Farms Pace
DARETODANCE (6) has switched to the Trent Dawson yard since she made an impressive debut in Victoria, leading from this barrier to score by 6 metres at Ballarat. Has plenty of upside and can work through her grades. BEACH MAGIC (4) has been racing very well from back row draws, winning at Redcliffe two starts ago before a 3m second at this circuit at his latest appearance. Big chance. MULLUM ARETHA (7) had enough speed to lead from this barrier here last start and stuck on for second. Can give a sight again. JIMMY BLING (5) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound fourth from the back line.

Resumes today. At the latest first-up run was well back in the run when 5th (Fr6) over 1660m at this track, beaten 14 m by Little Hoofananny (2:00.30) in Up to 1 LTW on April 25 at $17. Recent trials will help bring her on but she will strip fitter next time.

Last start game effort when 2nd (Sr2) over 1660m at this track, beaten 3 m by Filly Thirteen (1:58.50) in NR 40 to 45 on July 4 at $10. Two runs back won by a nose as favourite (Sr3) at Redcliffe (2:35.10) beating Absolutely Stoked in NR 38 to 42 on June 30 at $2.80. Likely to be there at the business end.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind La Miki at this track over 1660m in a NR 43 to 48 on June 24 at $9. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Jilliby Giddey at this track over 1660m in a NR up to 43 on July 1 at $7. Form sound and expected to measure up.
