Albany Race 5 - For The Girls – Faithfull Racing (Bm58+)
GAGE ROADS (1) has been performing well at a higher level this campaign, beaten just 3.8L in Saturday grade most recently at Ascot. This is much easier than he's been racing in and he's relatively well weighted in this race. Been a while between wins but this looks ripe for the picking. CHANTEL (2) couldn't hold on over this track and trip last time out when the $2.60 favourite, beaten 1.1L in strong race. Cheung now hops on board claiming 4kg and she looks to get her chance in the run. May sit up front again and proved tough to run down. MAGIC MIKEY (7) was 2.5L off the winner at Narrogin last time out and drops right back to the mile this time. He has placed 3/4 at this trip though and he looks to land in a great position from the draw. Won't be far away. ROCK OF KAHA (6) is racing in good order without winning and has a good record at the track and trip. Include. PRAY AGAIN (3) is better than he showed last time out and can bounce back.

Useful type. At the latest run rolled along in front before being edged out 3rd of 7 at this track Ladies Bracele on March 16 over 1600m, on a slow track; 1.1 len behind Paigey's Turn with 60kg at $2.60. The race before that 7th of 10 at this track Rtg 70+ on February 28 over 1500m, 5 len behind Henry The Aviator with 54kg at $8. Nice effort last time. Rates highly on the latest effort and can measure up.

Returns from a 40-day let-up. At the latest run ran last of 13 at Pinjarra Grad Hcp 59+ on February 15 over 1400m, 9 len behind Missile Storm with 54kg at $81. The start before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 11 at this track Rtg 58+ on January 31 over 1500m, 2.75 len behind Saulok with 58.5kg at $16. Will find this more suitable and can improve sharply.

Second run back. First-up after five months led to the turn then faded 8th of 12 at this track Cl5 C&G on March 16 over 1600m, slow going 7 len behind Justamiddy with 54kg at $21. Previously second-up 4th of 10 at this track Cl2 on November 19 2023 over 1500m, 3.5 len behind Candijay with 59kg at $5.50. Out of his depth.
