Albion Park Race 1 - Burwood Stud 2yo Pace
BLACKJACK SAM (5) scored his second win from the past six appearances last start when he found the lead and did well to go on and score by a nose at this track over 1660m. Meets a comparable field so he can keep the ball rolling. FIT AND READY (4) is taking on a far easier race this time after finishing sixth in a Group One at her latest appearance over 1660m at this track, beaten 7 metres by Mullum Showgirl. Tough to beat from an ideal draw against this lineup. SWEET TIMES (3) last appeared when he got home by 11 metres over 1780m at Redcliffe three-and-a-half months ago. Should be thereabouts. MEDELLIN (6) has been hard to fault of late, adding to the winning tally last start with success over 1780m at Redcliffe as the favourite after racing outside the leader at the bell.

Resumes. Finished off last preparation recording by 11 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr3) at Redcliffe (2:11.20) beating Major Ciara in 2yo on June 24 at $1.50 at the bell was leading 1.9m on the pegs. Finds a nice race to launch the campaign.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start won by 2.75 m as favourite (Sr1) at Redcliffe (2:13.00) beating Aunty Mel in on September 23 at $1.80 at the bell was leading 2.81. Hard to leave out on current form. Sure to be in the finish.
