Albion Park Race 5 - Lather Up 1.46 - The Silent Assassin Junior Ffa
The marble has fallen perfectly for FATE AWAITS (1). The classy four-year-old continued a run of top-two results and made it four wins from the last five outings when drawing deeper and racing wide but proving too good last week. Should enjoy the favours from the inside draw so can keep the ball rolling. MOSTERT NZ (3) is progressing strongly having put three wins together at this venue, the latest from a wider barrier than this. Tries this longer distance for the first time but draws well so is a threat again. FRENCH FRIES (5) makes his first appearance since winning a Triad final from the back row here in August. Readied with a trial win so look for a good return. EXCLUSIVE HUSTLER (2) is honest and draws to be competitive.

Four-year-old entire is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track. Last start won by 1.5 m as favourite (Fr5) at this track (1:55.10) beating Ruby Rules in 4yo+ on October 17 at $1.07 at the bell was leading 0.29. The ace draw gives him every chance to deliver again.

Two back was well beaten into fifth after being driven well back, behind Air Express at this track over 2138m in a 4yo+ on October 10 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Fate Awaits at this track over 1660m in a 4yo+ on October 17 at $26. Draws well so may feature again.

Comes here in the right form. Posted a big 4.5 m win as favourite (Fr5) at this track (1:53.80) beating Williams in 4yo+ on October 17 at $1.40 at the bell was leading 4.81. Two runs back won by 9 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr2) at this track (1:54.50) beating Targaryen in 4yo+ on October 3 at $1.35 at the bell was leading 5.95. Could take this next step to continue the winning streak.
