Albany Race 4 - Albany Views Private Estate (Bm70+)
HEAD'EM (5) dropped back in trip last start and ended up midfield, beaten 2.4L. His form prior was much better and getting back to this trip can see him bounce back to his best. Fiore remains in the saddle and he makes plenty of appeal. HENRY THE AVIATOR (9) hasn't been far away in recent efforts and drops a stack of weight coming here. Riordan's claim gets him in very light at the weights and he possesses good early speed. Hasn't won for a while, but ticks a few boxes and can put his best foot forward. CRUISE TO RIO (8) got a long way back last time out but closed nicely at this track and trip. Nottle now hops on board and he can take closer order this time around. Can make an impression. KEEP ATTACKING (1) comes here on the fresh side after closing to be 2.2L away at Esperance 67 days ago. Won't be far away. FLYING SOUTH (7) is better than he showed last time out and can feature.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 11 at this track Racing Wa Prov on April 26 over 1230m, slow going 1.5 len behind Brave Apache carrying 58kg at $8.50. The start before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at this track Rtg 70+ on April 16 over 1500m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Uni Queen with 53kg at $2.90. Knocking on the door and makes plenty of appeal on the back of his last start performance.
