Albion Park Race 1 - Racing & Sports.com Qualifying Pace
BETTOR CHEER NZ (9) produced another good effort for second two starts ago then registered a commanding win last time out, coming from this row and scoring by 9 metres at this venue. Deserved that on the back of consistent form. Could go on with it. SPUNKYS GOTSECRETS (8) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when he came from a wide barrier for fourth last week. Was runner-up in his previous two outings so he looks close to a win and should enjoy a pretty soft run from this draw. Primary contender. FLYING COLOURS NZ (3) continued his strong form with good effort last time out when he came from a tough barrier and finished fourth at Marburg. Better served by this draw. STARZZZ DESTINY (7) draws wide but is going well, placing in his last two outings here.

Didn't do much at the last run, 6th (Sr1) over 2040m at Redcliffe beaten 23 m by Calling Buddy (2:29.10) in 3yo+ on October 1 at $34. Before that was well back in the run when 8th (Fr4) over 1660m at this track beaten 20 m by Hes All Torque (1:55.70) in 4yo+ on August 29 at $21. Prefer others.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4 m fourth behind Barracuda at Marburg over 2200m 3yo+ last start. Before that was beaten 5 metres third at this track over 1660m in on September 26. Expected to go well from a low draw.

Good run when beaten by 3 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Mostert at this track over 1660m in a 4yo+ on September 26 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third behind Fifty Three Stars at this track over 2138m in a 4yo+ on October 3 at $5. Can feature again.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Sr2) over 2138m at this track, at the bell was 7th-10.97 beaten 11 m by Fifty Three Stars (2:34.00) in 4yo+ on October 3 at $81. Showed ability the race before when he came from midfield and won by a head as favourite (Fr4) at this track (1:56.60) beating King Bobbie in 4yo+ on September 26 at $3.40 at the bell was leading 2.42. May bounce back.
