Albion Park Race 8 - Lunchbox Lodge Spelling Farm Mares Qualifying Pace
EUREKA JO (2) has switched to the Jason Grimson stable since a decent effort here three weeks ago when she drew on the back row and raced wide before finishing fifth. Has a good record at this shorter distance and is much better served by the low draw. GOLDEN SHOOZ (6) produced a good effort at her latest appearance, coming from the back row and finishing second at this circuit and distance. Building in fitness so could be close to a win. SWEET DIOR NZ (9) is in the mix following respectable thirds from this row at her last two appearances here. CHANGE TACT NZ (8) raced parked but was too good in scoring last start by 2 metres at Menangle. Draws for a trail and could measure up.

Last start 9th (Sr3) over 1660m at this track beaten 12 m by Oakley Shard (1:57.00) in 4yo+ M on May 16 at $21. At the run before was driven from back in the field when 4th (Fr6) over 2040m at Redcliffe, beaten 2.5 m by Blackjack Crippa (2:27.50) in 3yo+ on May 6 at $6. Draws the inside so may do better.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 5th (Sr5) over 2138m at this track beaten 22 m by Ruby Rules (2:32.10) in 4yo+ M on May 23 at $11. The run prior was well back in the run when 6th (Fr5) over 1660m at this track, beaten 11 m by Oakley Shard (1:57.00) in 4yo+ M on May 16 at $12. Has joined Jason Grimson since last seen and draws to advantage.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Tilly Dunnage at this track over 1660m in a M on May 28 at $26. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Luvareschs at this track over 1660m in a 4yo+ M on June 6 at $26. Has a nice draw and expected to figure again.

Two back was well beaten into eleventh behind Sally Bigtime at this track over 2138m in a 4yo+ M on April 25 at $7. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.2 m finishing second behind Needbee at this track over 1660m in a 4yo+ M on June 6 at $4.20. Nice effort last time. Can be right in the thick of things.
