Albion Park Race 9 - North Star Series Heat (South)
RACE FOR RICHES (7) had put together a string of good performances at this venue and kept the ball rolling last start when second, beaten 1.5 metres. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw but a win looks imminent. CALL IT BLING (3) came from this barrier when he scored a win over this journey here in August so the step up in trip should suit him. Threat. BENNYDASOOK (4) drew wider than this and produced another good effort for third last time out. Won three of his previous four. Major player. KING BLING (1) has been solid from the back row of late so should appreciate the ace draw.

Backs up three days after he failed to impress 7th (Fr2) over 2040m after showing early pace at Redcliffe, beaten 7 m by Our Ultimate Milly (2:29.00) in 3yo+ on October 7 at $34. Before that 5th (Fr6) over 1660m at this track, at the bell was 5th-20.71 beaten 5.5 m by Studleigh Anne (1:59.40) in 3yo+ on September 28 at $21. Not keen on his chances in this line-up.

Good run 9 metres fourth behind Usual Suspect at Redcliffe over 1780m 3yo+ on September 10. Disqualified behind Dragon on September 26 at this track over 1660m. Strong claims from a good draw.

Last start solid effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr7) over 1660m at this track, at the bell was 3rd-20.86 beaten 3.5 m by All Eyes On Bling (1:57.80) in 3yo+ on October 2 at $5.50. Two runs back tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a head (Fr2) at this track (1:57.20) beating Surreal Moran in 3yo on August 1 at $9 at the bell was 3rd-3.8m on the pegs. Rates highly. Can continue the good form.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Our Rocky at this track over 1660m in a 3yo+ on September 18 at $9.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Dragon at this track over 1660m on September 26 at $6. Form sound and expected to measure up.

Failed to impress last start; was well back in the run when 7th (Fr2) over 2138m at this track beaten 30 m by Leap To Fame (2:30.40) in 4yo+ on October 3 at $71. Showed ability the run before when he won by 5.5 m when driven back in the field, (Fr3) held up early, at this track (2:33.30) beating Pumpkin Pat in 3yo+ on September 25 at $5 at the bell was leading 8.23. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Better than the last run and can improve.
