Albion Park Race 4 - Racing & Sports.com Junior Ffa
WHOS DELIGHT NZ (5) should find this easier than recent attempts. Far from disgraced after racing parked last week and had kicked off in Australia with back-to-back wins here in February. Finds the right race to return to the winners' list. BIGGER THE BETTOR NZ (1) produced a better performance when second up last time out, finishing 3.4m away in third at this circuit and distance. Has won third-up before so will strip fitter again and should enjoy an economical run from the ace draw. OZZIE PUNTA (8) is racing well with a win and two seconds from his last three starts here. Draws on the back row but won from there last month so has to come into calculations. MANILA PLAYBOY (6) hasn't raced for four-and-a-half months but is a four-time fresh winner so can open this campaign with a positive effort.

Two back was well beaten into seventh after a quick start, behind Dashing at this track over 2138m in a 4yo+ No NR on March 21 at $41. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Attachment at this track over 1660m in a 4yo+ No NR on March 28 at $6. Fitter again and should get his chance from this draw.

Last start 9th (Sr2) over 2138m at this track beaten 24 m by Attachment (2:30.80) in 4yo+ No NR on April 4 at $61. Two runs back 3rd (Sr1) over 2138m at this track beaten 6 m by Dashing (2:29.90) in 4yo+ No NR on March 21 at $41. Others read better. Might find this a bit tough.

Solid performance when a close second after a quick start, behind Great White at this track over 1660m in a NR up to 75 on March 28 at $1.80. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after a quick start, behind Attachment at this track over 2138m in a 4yo+ No NR on April 4 at $15. Among the exotic chances.

First up. At the last run he was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr2) over 1660m after showing early pace at this track was 6th-11.1m on the pegs at the bell, beaten 15 m by Captain Shuffles (1:55.50) in No NR on November 29 at $5. Four-time fresh winner so can open the campaign with a forward performance.
