Albion Park Race 2 - I H Capital 1 Win Pace
MIGHTY CRUNCH (7) is a consistent gelding yet to miss the top-three, last seen when third in a Breeders Classic consolation. That was seven weeks ago but was kept up to the mark with a nice trial. Looks well placed. Former Kiwi SABALA NZ (8) kicked off in Queensland with an easy Redcliffe win before a second from this barrier last start. Draws for a trail and has upside. FULL OF CHARM (2) raced parked and stuck on for fourth here last week. A good draw can see her competitive again. DARETODANCE (5) could get into the finish.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Fire And Passion at this track over 1660m in a 2yo No NR CG on May 20 at $26. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third after being driven well back, after showing early speed, behind Red Bull Bernie at this track over 1660m in a 2yo No NR CG on June 3 at $12. Going along well. Looks nicely placed.

Looks well placed in this tougher race, but she was impressive winning two starts back [-+] won by 12 m as favourite (Fr4) at Redcliffe (2:12.40) beating Cantplza Malteeza in MAIDEN on July 3 at $1.15. Has upside so can go close.
