Albion Park Race 7 - Ladbrokes Ultimate Driver Heat 7 (Nr40-45)
THE BLINGSTER (3) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 2 metres from the winner in third over 1660m at this track. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets some better types this time but a big run is on the cards. ONE CHAIN ROAD (5) showed plenty of fight to salute last time out over 1780m at Redcliffe, getting home by just a nose. Taking on a better field but he is good enough to cope. VICTREE CHARLIE (2) is better than his last-start run when finishing seventh over 2138m at this track would suggest. Can finish in the top-three. PRINCE JOY (10) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound fourth at Redcliffe over 2040m.

Didn't do much last start, was well back in the run when 8th (Fr5) over 1780m after racing wide at Redcliffe, beaten 65 m by Impermissible (2:08.90) in Up to 3 LTW on February 11 at $51. Before that 4th (Sr1) over 2138m at this track, beaten 19 m by County Court Judge (2:32.50) in Up to 3 LTW on January 30 at $101. This looks a far sterner test.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best.

Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing second behind Mister Delwin at Redcliffe over 1780m in a 3yo+ NR 40 to 45 on February 12 at $7. Among the contenders.
