Albion Park Race 9 - I H Capital Pacers Band Handicap
CHEER LEADER (4) finished fifth last start, beaten 17 metres at this track over 1660m. Taking on a better field but she is up to the task. TIMS A TROOPER (5) finished seventh last start over 2138m at this track, beaten 23 metres, after a modest ninth at this track the run prior. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role. FRANKIE FEROCIOUS (9) finished third last start over 2138m at this track. Generally runs very well at this circuit so can play a big role. DRAGON (1) is worth some thought after his last-start sixth over 2138m at this track on August 2.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr4) over 2138m after being wide early at this track, beaten 14 m by Darin (2:33.80) in No NR on August 2 at $34. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 6 m as favourite (Fr7) at this track (1:57.80) beating Miss Crunchy in Up to 4 LTW on July 24 at $1.25. A big run would not surprise.

Didn't do much at the last run, 6th (Fr2) over 2138m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 13 m by Blackjack Bart (2:34.10) in NR up to 70 on July 31 at $4.80. Before that 10th (Sr3) over 2138m at this track beaten 30 m by Lux Aeterna (2:33.30) in B 5 No NR on July 26 at $126. Not keen on his chances in this line-up.

Recent efforts haven't been up to her best. Last start was well back in the run when 5th (Fr4) over 1660m at this track beaten 17 m by Our Goat (1:53.70) in No NR on August 2 at $11. At the previous start was well back in the run when 7th (Fr6) over 1660m at this track, beaten 7 m by Eye Keep Smiling (1:53.40) in G1 No NR M on July 19 at $61. Capable of a lot more.
