Albion Park Race 3 - Yabby Dam Farms Mdn Pace
NORTHVIEW CRUNCHA NZ (1) finished eighth last start, beaten 23 metres at Alexandra Park over 2200m. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish. HEZ OUR PLAYBOY (5) has not raced for seven months. Looks forward enough for this return after winning in a recent trial. Likely to run a big race to kick off this campaign. HUNGRY FOR MORE (8) is a three-year-old filly from the Ben Crosby yard on debut. Shouldn't spend a penny from this draw and the sprint lane may come in handy. Was not far away in a recent trial. Capable of taking this out. GO MINNIE (7) is worth some thought after her last-start sixth over 1660m at this track on August 11.

At the run before 7th (Sr1) over 1660m at this track beaten 55 m by Oh Its On (1:55.50) in 2yo on August 4 at $41. Drawn favourably and is worth another chance.

Returns from the paddock. At the latest first-up run was well beaten after breaking at this track on August 23 2024. Recent trials will help bring her on but a lack of race-fitness might work against.

Resuming after seven months off the scene. Finished off last preparation when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind Sinkrate at Marburg over 1850m on January 26 at $5. Will be hard to beat despite the layoff.

Three-year-old filly by Stay Hungry out of Morethanmeetstheye on debut. Finished second at Redcliffe in a trial on August 13 over 1780m. Not far away in a recent trial and looks set to make an immediate impact.
