Albion Park Race 4 - Racing & Sports.com Band 5 Pace

WILLIAMS (8) continued his good form when he led and stuck on for second to multiple Group 1 winner Fate Awaits last week. Has only once missed the top-three in his last eight starts and he won from this barrier the last tine he drew on the back line. DOUGS FLAME (7) has to contend with a very wide draw but has been racing well from the back line, finishing only 2.3m away last week and winning his previous two outings here. Primary contender if things go his way. RACE FOR RICHES (3) is in the mix having produced some good efforts since a win at this distance last month including a respectable third at his most recent appearance. MISTER MANAGER (4) draws a couple of spots wider than in last week's win but has yet to miss the top-three at this circuit and distance.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing sixth after being driven well back, behind Dragon at this track over 2138m in a 3yo+ on August 27 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Fate Awaits at this track over 1660m in a 4yo+ on September 5 at $31. Progressing well. Draws well and is a leading player.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Sr1) over 2138m at this track beaten 2.25 m by Isla Rochelle (2:31.90) in 4yo+ on September 5 at $5. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 2.25 m (Sr1) at this track (1:55.50) beating Williams in 4yo+ on August 29 at $4.33. Can bounce back to winning form.

Solid run when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Dougs Flame at this track over 1660m in a 4yo+ on August 29 at $10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Fate Awaits at this track over 1660m in a 4yo+ on September 5 at $4.20. Bright prospects.
