Albion Park Race 8 - Changeover @ Burwood Stud Mares Qualifying Pace
COASTAL BABE (6) has been freshened since she was surprisingly beaten into third as a hot favourite last time but had kicked off her campaign with a win here prior. Draws towards the outside of the front line but showed her class by winning last season's Victoria Oaks so can bounce back. SWEET ADDITION (1) had a wide draw last week so it may pay to forgive that result. Had been runner-up at her previous two starts, one of them from this barrier when edged out by a nose. Worth another chance. GOTTA HAV ME (8) is racing consistently and draws for a trail so can be in the finish again. SWEET HAYLEY JANE (7) heads north having placed in to of her last four stars in Sydney. Could measure up.

Last start 7th (Fr6) over 1660m after racing wide at this track, beaten 25 m by La Derniere (1:57.60) in No NR M on July 26 at $5. At the run before game effort despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr6) over 1660m at this track beaten 2 m by Tick A Loch (1:56.60) in No NR M on July 11 at $41. Draws the pegs and is a great chance on best form.

Two back was well beaten into second behind Fact Finder at Redcliffe over 2040m in a No NR on July 18 at $4.60. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after a quick start, behind La Derniere at this track over 1660m in a No NR M on July 26 at $3.10. Sure to go well again.
