Albion Park Race 9

Pace With Mates Pace

Stake: $9,900

FACT FINDER (5) was close-up from back row draws in his first two starts after a spell before impressing here on Friday, coming from a similar barrier to this to score by more than 11 metres. Race fit and can back that up. MISTER FONZI (2) added to a string of top-four finishes when he came from this barrier for second to FACT FINDER here on Friday. It won't be easy to turn the tables on that rival but he should perform well again. MY ULTIMATE VICTOR (1) has come from wide or second row barriers at his last few so could improve from the inside draw. APHRODITE (9) is capable of a first-four finish.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Backing up quickly after was well back in the run when 6th (Fr7) over 1660m at this track beaten 23 m by French Fries (1:55.70) in NR up to 60 on April 12 at $81. At the previous start 7th (Sr3) over 1660m at this track, beaten 11 m by Jamaican Rock (1:55.10) in No NR on April 5 at $151. Improver from this draw.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Blackjack Bart at Redcliffe over 1780m in a NR 52 to 57 on April 2 at $3.90. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind Fact Finder at this track over 2138m in a NR 50 to 56 on April 11 at $10. Big chance.
