Albion Park Race 7

Pace With Mates Mares Qualifying Pace (B Div)

Stake: $12,420

There was plenty to like about the latest performance of PLATINUM JEWEL (4) when she raced parked but stuck on for second at Redcliffe. Starts from the same barrier and has a good record at this shorter distance. Can go one better. FIREBOLT (1) had produced some good efforts prior to the latest attempt. Aided by the ace draw so has winning claims. SISTA SAMMY (3) switches from WA. Has trialled and has a strong first-up record with four wins and three placings from eight attempts so keep safe for the new yard. SURPRISE LANDING (6) is the next in line.

Promising type show didn't do much at the end of her last preparation. Fair return to racing first up 5th (Sr2) over 1780m at Redcliffe beaten 24 m by La Derniere (2:05.90) in NR 52 to 57 on July 9 at $10. Fitter and draws well so could be an exotic hope.

Two back was well beaten into sixth after being driven well back, behind Amami at this track over 2138m in a NR up to 75 on July 11 at $12. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing second behind Gipsy Princess at Redcliffe over 1780m in a NR up to 70 on July 18 at $9. Top chance.

Didn't do much last start, was well back in the run when 8th (Fr5) over 1660m at this track beaten 11 m by Tick A Loch (1:56.60) in No NR M on July 11 at $61. Before that 8th (Sr2) over 2138m at this track beaten 9 m by Mikis Joe (2:35.10) in NR 50 to 56 on July 4 at $34. Cannot enthuse on what we have seen of late.
