Albion Park Race 1 - Racing & Sports.com Qualifying Pace
COOL NIGHT (9) headed north following a win at Newcastle and was brave here last week, working to find the front before sticking on for a 4.6m fourth. Has winning claims if things go his way from the back row. FIRE RAISER (4) was first up for six months when he came from the back line and finished fifth. Better drawn and races well when second-up so should be improved. PRINCE OF PAIN NZ (1) wasn't too far from the placegetters first up. Races well at this distance and can progress aided by the ace draw. MIKIS JOE (2) was solid from this barrier last start. Can be competitive again.

Has been racing well this preparation and showed plenty of improvement following January 10 run. Last start won by 1.75 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr2) at this track (1:57.50) beating Aqua Sancta in 4yo+ NR 50 or better on January 17 at $1.90. This race will be harder than that win. Not easy from this draw.
