Albion Park Race 4 - Psp Friday Frenzy Pace
VINKE B NZ (3) stayed out of the early speed battle from a wide gate on the front line last start and couldn't come on, finishing 23 metres from the winner in eighth at Menangle over 1609m. Likely to get all the favours from this better draw. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. MAJOR CRUNCH (7) continued a strong run of recent form and deserved his win last start, scoring by a neck over 2040m at Redcliffe. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. His last-start form is good enough to put him right in the finish. UNCLE TONY (6) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1660m at this track last time out. BARRACUDA NZ (5) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1660m at this track. Racing in an easier line-up today rates well as one of the leading chances.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 8th (Fr10) over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 23 m by Ohoka Cobra (1:52.00) on September 29 at $51. The run before 8th (Fr5) over 1609m at Menangle was 2nd-3.1 at the bell, beaten 11 m by Cash And Bling (1:54.30) on September 22 at $7.50. Can do much better.

Racing in great heart. Last start won by a neck as favourite (Fr4) at Redcliffe (2:28.70) beating Gem Punter Pete in 3yo+ on October 29 at $2.60 at the bell was leading 7.82. Great chance to make it two in a row.
