Albion Park Race 7 - Wolf Signs Pace
MAJOR CRUNCH (8) has been racing well, finishing second in his two starts since kicking off the campaign with a win at this circuit and distance. Drawn to enjoy an economical run and the sprint lane in in play. Race fit and the form reads well. FRANCO MACHO NZ (4) turned in yet another strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out by a head at this circuit and distance. That made it three runner-up results on the trot. Could break through. WAR CLUB (2) draws well and is a player after finishing third over 1660m here last time out. BARRETT (3) is aided by a good draw and has been racing well at Redcliffe with a win and two placings from the last three starts.

Solid run when beaten by 2 m finishing fourth behind Captain Nemo at this track over 1660m in a 3yo+ NR 43 to 50 on March 10 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third behind Queen Lilibet at this track over 1660m in a 3yo+ NR up to 55 on March 17 at $10. Can be right in the thick of things.

Solid run when a close second behind My Ultimate Victor at Redcliffe over 2040m in a 3yo+ NR 48 to 55 on February 19 at $4.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Marty The Martian at Redcliffe over 2040m in a 3yo+ NR 48 to 55 on March 19 at $10. Go well again.

Two back was well beaten into second after a quick start, behind Just A Cool Dude at this track over 2138m in a 3yo+ NR 51 to 57 on February 27 at $6. Then a handy effort when a close second after showing early speed, behind Sweet Addition at this track over 2138m in a 3yo+ NR 51 to 57 on March 13 at $12. Leading player.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr5) over 1660m after racing wide at this track beaten 8 m by Queen Lilibet (1:56.30) in 3yo+ NR up to 55 on March 17 at $15. Showed ability the run before when he won by a nose as favourite when driven back in the field, (Fr7) held up early, at this track (1:57.10) beating My Ultimate Victor in 3yo+ NR 43 to 50 on March 10 at $4.40. Use the win two back as a guide to his prospects.

Didn't do much last start, was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr4) over 2138m at this track, beaten 19 m by Cotchinellie (2:30.70) in 3yo+ NR up to 70 on March 17 at $41. Before that 8th (Sr4) over 2040m at Redcliffe, beaten 13 m by Majorita Jujon (2:31.20) in 3yo+ NR 55 to 65 on March 11 at $21. Unlikely to threaten.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 3 m second behind Ideal Bronski at this track over 1660m 3-4yo NR up to 60 last start. Before that was beaten a nose second again at this track over 2138m in 3yo+ NR 51 to 60 on March 10. Strong claims.
