Albion Park Race 9 - Outkast National Design & Construction Band 4 Pace
CHARGE AHEAD (5) is racing in fine form and made it two wins in a row last week when he led and fought well to get the cash by a head at this circuit and distance. Draws wider but won from this barrier prior. Can land the hat trick. COOL NIGHT (3) was only 3.5 metres behind CHARGE AHEAD last week and came from this barrier when winning at this circuit and distance last month. Expect him to be prominent. OUR SUNSET DELIGHT (2) resumes following a layoff of four-and-a-half months but generally comes to hand very quickly with four wins and two placings from eight first-up appearances. Should enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Expecting a bright start to the campaign. MIRACLE MOOSE NZ (1) will be cherry-ripe after four runs back from a spell. Hasn't been far away at his last couple and draws to advantage.

Recent form below what he is capable of. Last start 6th (Fr4) over 1660m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 3.5 m by Charge Ahead (1:58.20) in 4yo+ B 5 NR 55 or better on April 18 at $10. The run before 7th (Fr1) over 1660m after showing early speed at this track beaten 6 m by Exclusive Hustler (1:54.40) in 4yo+ B 5 NR 55 or better on April 11 at $1.70. Draws wide so is certainly worth another chance.

Didn't do much last start, was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr7) over 1660m at this track beaten 3.5 m by Charge Ahead (1:58.20) in 4yo+ B 5 NR 55 or better on April 18 at $41. Before that 4th (Fr3) over 1660m at this track beaten 6 m by Basilisk Bob (1:54.70) in 4yo+ B 5 NR 55 or better on April 11 at $7.50. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Last start 8th (10m Fr3) over 2647m at this track, beaten 50 m by Tyson (3:15.60) in 4yo+ No NR on April 21 at $18. Before that, 7th (Sr1) over 2138m at this track beaten 9 m by Ozzie Punta (2:30.80) in 4yo+ B 5 NR 55 or better on March 28 at $14. Capable of a better showing.
