Albion Park Race 7 - Lunchbox Lodge Spelling Farm Mares Band 5 Pace
Hard to knock the consistency of SHES CRUNCHY NZ (5) who has yet to miss the top-two since arriving from NZ. Has been strong from this barrier in her last two starts, winning two back and missing narrowly last time. Can atone. EUREKA JO (6) draws one spot lower than last start and hadn't been too far away in her previous two outings. Good enough to measure up if things go her way. SENSATIONALIZE (8) made a winning start for the new stable when scoring by 5.6 metres at this venue last week. Draws for a trail and could go on with it. SWEET ADDITION NZ (7) deserves respect after coming from this barrier for a last-start win by a head at this circuit and distance.

Eight-year-old mare showed improvement last time. 2nd (Fr1) over 1660m at this track, beaten 5.5 m by Iloveacalendergirl (1:57.50) in 4yo+ B 5 NR 55 or better M on March 14 at $23. The race before was not as impressive when well beaten into eighth after being driven well back, behind Zahra Lou at this track over 1660m in a 4yo+ B 5 NR 55 or better M on February 28 at $41. Found a few ahead of her.
