Albion Park Race 7

Ladbrokes Racing Club

Stake: $3,520

SHEEZEL (8) is a progressive type who recorded his 27th career win last time out (16.43) at Healesville. Solid record at the distance winning 16 races. Goes very well from this draw with three wins and three minor placings from seven starts. In top form and looks a key chance again. SCRUB'S ROCKET (5) was below best latest but did hit the frame in quick time two back when third (19.03) at this track in a OPEN. Expected to bounce back to best. HOPE'S ZONE (7) in the money last time at this track (22.74) in a Free For All, finishing a 1.3 lengths second. With even luck and a clean start can sneak into the finish. GUNDY SURE CAN (1) missed the frame latest (19.45) when sixth over 331m at this track in a Free For All. Has already won six times from this draw.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by a nose in 18.98, beating Galloping Black. Last start finished 5th over 407m at Rockhampton beaten 4.5 lengths (24.29) behind Coin Counter in a Free For All on April 9. Tempted to look elsewhere.

Good effort to win last start by 1.3 lengths over 395m at this track in a handy (22.65), beating Hope's Zone. Will find this a bit tougher, looking to others this time.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th over 395m at this track beaten 4 lengths (22.91) behind Howdy Lana in a Free For All on April 9. Placed two back at this track. Boasts a course and distance PB in a dazzling 18.68. Top chance.
