Albion Park Race 5 - Stu Valentine For Bloodstock Insurance Pace
FAVREAU (5) has the hoof on the till having raced parked but stuck on well to finish second in his last two outings at this circuit and distance. Stays in the same grade and this looks winnable. THE REAL ROCKETMAN NZ (4) came from the back row when fourth last week and had this draw when he won three back at Marburg. Player. MAJOR SLIP UP (7) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 4.4 metres from the winner in second at this circuit and distance. May need a bit of luck negotiating a wide starting position but if it comes his way he can make an impact again. WESTERN ACTION (3) improved to place last start. Race fit now and draws to advantage.
