Albion Park Race 5 - Somerset Farms Qualifying Pace
STARZZZ DESTINY (7) finished second last time out, beaten 2.5 metres, in a far better performance at this track over 1660m. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. This looks a sterner test than last time but he is capable of winning. IMPERIAL NIGHT (6) finished second last start over 1660m at this track, beaten 5 metres, after also filling a minor placing at the previous appearance over 2138m at this track. This doesn't look as hard so he is a major player. MISTER MANAGER (2) is the next best after finishing third over 2138m at this track last time out. HEZA MAYWYN (5) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 1.5 metres at this track over 2138m. Include in combinations.

Last start 10th (Fr2) over 2138m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 19 m by Gem Punter Pete (2:34.40) in 4yo+ on August 20 at $71. Two runs back won by 1.75 m (Sr3) at this track (1:59.60) beating Pocket Book in 3yo+ on August 11 at $17. Might find this a bit tough.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Spirit Of Anarchy at this track over 1660m in a 4yo+ on August 15 at $21. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third behind Gem Punter Pete at this track over 2138m in a 4yo+ on August 20 at $13. Leading contender again.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 4th (Fr2) over 1660m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 7 m by Crippa Max (1:57.80) in 3yo+ on August 20 at $10. At the run before 6th (Fr5) over 2040m at Redcliffe, beaten 5.5 m by Captain Jazz (2:33.00) in 3yo+ on August 13 at $7.50. Doesn't need to improve a great deal to take this out.

Recent efforts have been impressive. Last start won by 1.5 m when quickly away, (Fr1) at this track (2:33.90) beating Miss Bay King Cole in 3yo+ on August 20 at $4. Great chance to make it two in a row.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 5 m second behind Spirit Of Anarchy at this track over 1660m 4yo+ last start. Before that was beaten 4.5 metres third again at this track over 2138m same class on August 8. Right in the calculations.
