Albion Park Race 5 - Leading Edge Security Pace
PLAYING FOR KEEPS (2) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 1.75 metres from the winner in second over 1780m at Redcliffe. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets some better types this time but a trip to the winners' circle is not out of the question. MAJOR SLIP UP (4) finished sixth last start, beaten 12 metres at Marburg over 1850m. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. ROSIE POLLEN (8) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when second at this track over 1660m. Must be included. BEAU STEELE (5) showed pleasing improvement last time out when runner-up over 1850m at Marburg. Well worth an each-way ticket.

Didn't do much at the last run, 5th (Fr1) over 1660m at this track, at the bell was 5th-6.76 beaten 9 m by Azor Ahai (2:00.20) in 3yo+ on September 29 at $31. Before that was driven from back in the field when 9th (Sr3) over 1780m at Redcliffe beaten 30 m by Its One Life (2:11.40) on September 17 at $34. Must do a lot more.

Fair performance when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Rocky Outlook at Redcliffe over 1780m in a 3yo+ on September 23 at $1.55. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.75 m finishing second behind Erasmus at Redcliffe over 1780m in a 3yo+ on September 30 at $2.70. Has a low draw and will go well again.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow second behind Copy Writer at Marburg over 1850m 3yo+ last start. Before that was beaten 1.5 metres third at this track over 1660m same class on September 25. Overdue and looks hard to beat again.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Backing up quickly after 6th (Sr1) over 1850m at Marburg was 6th-15.33 at the bell, beaten 12 m by October Racketeer (2:16.40) in 3yo+ on October 5 at $26.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Sports Bounty at this track over 1660m in a 3yo+ on September 18 at $4.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.3 m finishing second behind Deep Regret at this track over 1660m in a 3yo+ on September 25 at $2.20. Going along well. Can continue the good form and take this out.

Finding it hard to put a couple of good runs together. Last start was 3rd (Fr7) over 2138m after being wide early at this track was 3rd-4.53 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Sporty Azz (2:35.80) in 3yo+ on October 2 at $7.50. Before that beaten 11 metres, ninth at Redcliffe over 1780m 3yo+ on September 30. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Last start 2nd (Fr5) over 2138m at this track was 2nd-9.47 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Sporty Azz (2:35.80) in 3yo+ on October 2 at $8. Two runs back won by 1.5 m (Fr5) at this track (2:01.80) beating Take Courage in 3yo+ on September 28 at $14 at the bell was leading 8.59. Will find this a lot tougher.
