Albion Park Race 8 - Burwood Stud 2yo Pace
MEDELLIN (4) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 7 metres from the winner in third over 1660m at this track. This is a nice drop in grade so he is sure to prove tough to beat. FAN THE FLAME (1) has been racing well, filling a top-five position at her last eight starts including a third most recently at this track over 1660m. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meets a similar line up so she is capable of continuing her fine form. SCAR STRUCK (5) finished sixth last start at Group Three level in a race won by Savage Seas over 1660m at this track, beaten 19 metres. Sure to be right there at the finish. WAVE OF DELIGHT (3) will be fitter and has upside.

Fair run when beaten by 5.5 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Harry The Hat at this track over 1660m in a 2yo on October 16 at $5. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Exit Eleven at this track over 1660m in a 2yo on October 23 at $7. Winning claims.

Last start 4th (Fr6) over 1660m after showing early speed at this track beaten 6 m by Exit Eleven (1:59.40) in 2yo on October 23 at $12. Two runs back won by a nose as favourite (Sr2) at Redcliffe (2:11.60) beating Sergentmajor Jujon in on May 21 at $3.60 at the bell was 6th-8.9m 2WWC. Fitter so watch for a spike in form.

Solid performance when beaten by 2.5 m finishing fourth after being driven well back, after a quick start, behind Sweet Times at this track over 1660m in a 2yo on October 9 at $12. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Blackjack Sam at this track over 1660m in a 2yo on October 17 at $12. Best form should see him go well again.

Returns from the paddock. Previously first up won by 6 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr2) at this track (2:01.70) beating Parisian Hustler in 2yo on February 24 at $1.60. A big run would not surprise.
