Albion Park Race 8 - Lunchbox Lodge Spelling Farm Mares Qualifying Pace
FEAR THE PAIN NZ (1) was far from disgraced when midfield after working last week and had missed narrowly as runner-up over this shorter distance here. Should get every chance from the ace draw. THE LADY DIOR (4) did a good job to come from the back row for fourth over further last week to follow back-to-back placings at this circuit and distance prior, one of them from this barrier. Expect her to pose a serious challenge. BETTORS MOON (2) had had four weeks off but was kept up to the mark with a trial win and draws to advantage. SO MANY MOMENTS (8) has been competitive of late and draws to trail the top pick early.

Last start was well beaten into sixth behind Golden Shooz at this track over 2138m in a 4yo+ on September 26 at $13. Performed better the start before with a solid effort when 2nd (Sr1) over 1660m at this track, at the bell was 2nd-4.74 beaten a head by Racana (1:55.60) in 4yo+ on September 5 at $12. Gets the ace draw so can be right in the thick of things.
