Albion Park Race 9 - Ladbrokes Popular Srm Pace
PINKCHAMPAGNE (5) produced a good effort at her latest run to get home by a narrow margin over 1660m at this track on July 28. Big chance in a similar assignment. NO FAMILY LIKEMINE (4) was out of the money two back at Redcliffe. Turned in a better run last time out when second over 1660m at this track, beaten 3.5 metres. Leading hope if he is at his best. MAGICOL IDEAL NZ (10) is one of the main contenders after winning his past two starts, the latest at this track a week ago. Difficult to ignore that sort of form. THE REAL ROCKETMAN NZ (8) is in the mix if he can recapture the form from two starts back that saw him finish second over 1660m at this track.

Last start was well back in the run when 3rd (Fr5) over 2040m at Redcliffe, beaten 2.5 m by Shez A Warrior (2:31.00) in 3yo+ on August 5 at $9. Two runs back was driven from back in the field when 4th (Fr5) over 2040m after racing wide at Redcliffe beaten 6 m by Grigora (2:32.80) in 3yo+ on July 29 at $5. Not keen this time.

Two back was well beaten into seventh after being driven well back, behind Pleasant Heights at Redcliffe over 1780m on July 29 at $26. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Magicol Ideal at this track over 1660m in a 3yo+ on August 4 at $3.20. Top chance in this line-up.
