Albion Park Race 2 - Racing & Sports.com Junior Ffa
CATSEYE BEACH (1) has been ticking along well, finishing close to the placegetters in both outings since a third at this circuit and distance last month. Draws for a soft run from the ace draw so could break through. EXCLUSIVE HUSTLER (3) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 5.6 metres from the winner in second over this distance, giving him back-to-back placings here. Close to a win and should get his chance from this draw. AIR EXPRESS (8) only beat one home last week but he was going well with a series of top-four results prior including a win at this circuit and distance last month. Draws for a trail so may be worth another chance. SMARTER THAN YOU (9) may need some luck from a wide draw but he is going well, scoring back-to-back wins here last month and producing two decent efforts since.

Didn't do much last start, 10th (Sr2) over 2138m at this track, beaten 12 m by Smarter Than You (2:31.10) in 4yo+ on August 29 at $31. Before that was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr6) over 2138m at this track, beaten 10 m by Darin (2:33.20) in 4yo+ on August 15 at $61. Must improve sharply.

Solid run when beaten by 1.5 m finishing third behind Smarter Than You at this track over 2138m in a 4yo+ on August 29 at $13. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Rakasandy at this track over 1660m in a 4yo+ on September 5 at $1.75. Leading contender.

Didn't do much at the last run, was well back in the run when 9th (Fr7) over 1660m after being wide early at this track, beaten 17 m by Rakasandy (1:53.50) in 4yo+ on September 5 at $41. Before that 5th (Fr1) over 2138m after showing early speed at this track beaten 4.5 m by Smarter Than You (2:31.10) in 4yo+ on August 29 at $5.50. This looks a tough task.

Comes here in the right form. Won by 2 m (20m) at this track (2:37.50) beating Path To Greatness in 4yo+ on September 15 at $11. Two runs back was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr5) over 1660m at this track beaten 11 m by Rakasandy (1:53.50) in 4yo+ on September 5 at $51. Not keen against this field.

Racing consistently. Last start won by 2.75 m when driven back in the field, (Fr7) held up early, at this track (2:31.30) beating Mister Manager in 4yo+ on September 12 at $4.20. Racing in great heart and while drawn wide he could be in the finish again.
