Marburg Race 4 - North Star Series Heat (West)
FITZROY NZ (3) resumes from a spell of four months after closing off last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid third over 2138m at Albion Park. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Expecting a bright start to the campaign. ALWAYSBJOY NZ (6) resumes from a spell of three months after showing some very good form last campaign, the last run being a third over 1660m at Albion Park. Drawn to enjoy a cosy run but might need things to go her way at some stage. Likely to run a big race to kick off this campaign. SWEET ROCKY (7) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1660m at Albion Park last time out. ROCK NIEN (2) showed pleasing improvement last time out when third over 1780m at Redcliffe.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Williams at Albion Park over 1660m in a 4yo+ on October 31 at $126. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Our Ultimate Jessy at Redcliffe over 1780m in a 3yo+ on November 4 at $11. Leading player.

Didn't do much last time out, 6th (Fr5) over 1660m at Albion Park, at the bell was 6th-12.61 beaten 4 m by Protagonist (1:58.50) in 3yo+ on November 2 at $151. Before that 9th (Sr3) over 2138m at Albion Park was 9th-16.88 at the bell, beaten 13 m by Sweet Lad Jujon (2:33.20) in 4yo+ on October 31 at $34. This looks a far sterner task.

Last start 4th (Fr7) over 1660m after showing early speed and racing wide at Albion Park was 4th-1.01 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Kiki Meister (1:55.60) in 3yo+ on October 30 at $2.60. Two runs back won by a head as favourite (Fr7) at Albion Park (1:56.50) beating Bonnies Cam in 3yo+ on October 20 at $2.15. Use the win two back as a guide to his prospects.
