Albion Park Race 5 - Lunchbox Lodge Spelling Farm Mares Qualifying Pace
MISS IDAHO (3) turned in a good effort at her latest run to get home by a narrow margin over 1660m at this track on July 4. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. It doesn't get any easier but she is capable of making her presence felt. LUVARESCHS (2) has been racing well of late. Finished third at her latest appearance over 2300m at Menangle, beaten 7 metres. Has the benefit of a good draw. Good enough to put herself in the winners' stall. POST PAINTER (5) must be considered after she finished third over 2138m at this track a week-and-a-half ago. TICK A LOCH (10) is in the mix following a respectable second at her most recent appearance over 1660m at this track.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing fourth behind Spirit Of Arion at Menangle over 2300m in a 4-020yo+ 0W/20K Stakes on July 19 at $21. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Donegal Luther at Menangle over 2300m in a 4-020yo+ 0W/20K Stakes on July 26 at $11. Progressing well. Winning claims.

Four-year-old mare is racing in fine form. Won her last two outings at this track both over 1660m. Last start won by 1.75 m (Fr7) at this track (1:55.20) beating Golden Fire in NR up to 70 on July 4 at $4.80. Sure to play a major role.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following July 24 run. Last start won by 2.5 m as favourite (Sr1) at this track (2:32.60) beating Epic Ernie in No NR on August 2 at $2.25. This race will be harder than that win. Prefer to watch at this level.

Last start game effort when 2nd (Sr1) over 1660m at this track beaten 7 m by La Derniere (1:57.60) in No NR M on July 26 at $3.20. Two runs back won by 2 m when quickly away, (Fr4) at this track (1:56.60) beating Sweet Addition in No NR M on July 11 at $13. Decent effort last start. One of the main contenders despite the second row draw.
