Albion Park, Friday 10 January

Form Analysis by Darren Clayton

RACE ONE

A tough maiden contest where CRADOCK (6) might finally be able to put one on the board after 30 previous attempts have come up short. Returning from a two-trial embargo here on Tuesday when game in defeat after a tough run, he can look to capitalise.

LIGHT UP LOVEY (5) will chase a double dip after breaking through for her first victory here on Tuesday at start 26. Showing early speed before obtaining cover, she was able to finish best along the passing lane to score and can issue the challenge again here.

WICKED BEAUTY (2) is a 3YO daughter of Mcwicked out of the 18-time winning mare Tralee Bromac on debut for Grant Dixon. With a sound trial in readiness, she stays under watch.

ALSROKSTAR (7) returns from a break to start his 3YO term following a last start fade out in a strong 2YO contest. Wide gates have stung his chances and look to have impacted this.

SELECTIONS: CRADOCK (6), LIGHT UP LOVEY (5), WICKED BEAUTY (2), ALSROKSTAR (7)
SUGGESTED BET: CRADOCK (6) to win

RACE TWO

Seemingly having had plenty of chances to arrest a win drought in recent starts, MUFASA BART (5) will place his order at the last chance saloon. Snagged back last start but unable to reel them in over the closing stages when 5m from the winner. Will today be the day.

TRACER BULLET (6) was asked to roll the sleeves and hang tough outside the leader last start where he was game in defeat in holding on for 3rd behind MISTER HART. Not too far away the start prior, in this line up he can look to throw down the challenge.

SIGNOR JUJON (4) returns to Qld for a new trainer to join the Ricky Hart barn. Last seen at Wagga, he can be thereabouts in this type of contest.

PERFECT FEELING (1) started from inside the second line last start where he was shuffled away and finished soundly. From this gate he can settle closer to chime in.

SUGGESTED BET: MUFASA BART (5) to win

RACE THREE

Faced with a second line gate last time out, MACS A DUDE (5) found the 1x1 trail and tried to offer in the stretch when finishing 3m from the winner MISTER HART. A beaten fav at Redcliffe the start prior, he looks to have found the right conditions to issue his claim.

WESTERN ACTION (8) was exposed early and the shuffled back in the running line before making a strong closing raid for the silver at Marburg two starts back where he was just a head from the winner. Not suited at the 2138 last start, back to the mile suits and he will be probing.

ROCKNROLL DA GAMA (4) was making some late metres to grab the bronze at Redcliffe two starts back and last start was not far away after easing from a wide gate. He is in the mix here.

LETS GET SHORTY (6) held the pocket trail from gate 1 last start and was able to grip in for the silver when 2m off the winner. The wider gate makes it a tougher ask this time.

SELECTIONS: MACS A DUDE (5), WESTERN ACTION (8), ROCKNROLL DA GAMA (4), LETS GET SHORTY (6)
SUGGESTED BET: MACS A DUDE (5) to win

RACE FOUR

He may do a few things wrong but the 2138 and a smaller field will both be aiding GOODTIME CRACKER (7) arriving. Huge in defeat last start when 5th after making an error at the mile when starting outside the second line in a capacity field. He can chase redemption.

JIMMY JOYCE (8) was a winner over this trip five runs back when burrowing through to hold them wide from gate 1 and then take them all the way. Placed in all four since, the latest was a tough effort when sitting parked. From the gate he just needs space to issue the challenge.

TEST OF FIRE (4) was sent forward from outside the front-line last start, with a sub 27 opening panel telling the tale later in the race when collared. The middle trip is the query here.

KEAYANG TARA (3) was snookered away from inside the second line last start and never factored. Positioing cheaply will be key to her podium hopes.

SUGGESTED BET: GOODTIME CRACKER (7) to win

RACE FIVE

With the gate to get handy to the action, ROLLING BONUS (2) might just have found the conditions for another win at HQ. Firing out to find he front before releasing here three back, he had the closing speed to arrive. Tackling a much tougher contest last start, he can cash in.

BOLD MEDLEY JUJON (8) will have early options as the lone runner off the second line and can look to find the right path in transit. Locked away on the inside when tackling a qualifier last start, this is withing reach of him challenging.

ZOOM PARTY (5) made some late metres to grab a bronze behind subsequent winner BRETTS RED two starts back and then last start was not too far from them. He can be chiming in again.

LULU MAE (3) was a starchy winner here last start when sitting parked and pulling clear to a 7m margin. Settling handy from this gate can see her in the mix once again.

SUGGESTED BET: ROLLING BONUS (2) to win

RACE SIX

IM BOO (2) tried to see them off from the front last start in a second division qualifier when reeled in over the closing stages to finish midfield. Not suited when asked to sit parked at the 2138 the start prior, if he can pinch a panel in front, he can put them away here.

SOHO CASABLANCA (3) resumes from a break after more than 12 months on the sidelines. His sole trial in readiness for the return was a smart effort back in September with the real query his fitness coming into this so fresh.

MUCH BETTOR (8) is effective when positioned on the inside and secures the gate to get the ideal trip to match his pattern. With the economical trip, he can be joining in.

JESSEJAMES SHANNON (4) was luckless last start when searching for a gap to offer where he finished just 1m from the winner. He can be making a podium play here.

SELECTIONS: IM BOO (2), SOHO CASABLANCA (3), MUCH BETTOR (8), JESSEJAMES SHANNON (4)
SUGGESTED BET: IM BOO (2) to win

RACE SEVEN

Placed in three successive outings prior to her last appearance, MISSED CONSEQUENCES (4) was unable to finish them off last start after setting the speed over this trip. In a race where the 2138 will play a big factor in deciding the winner, she might just be the one.

GOODTIME MIKI (6) has had just the two starts since arriving in Qld with the Shane Graham barn. Making an error first up and banished to the trials, he earned the return and here on Tuesday was making good metres in the closing stages. On the short back up, he can challenge.

JOHN SNOW (2) steps out beyond the mile for the first time and comes into this following his last outing when missing the money after sitting parked. He can be thereabouts.

THREE MACHS (5) is chasing a hat-trick after wins at Redcliffe and then here last start when overcoming a wide gate. If she can handle the distance, she can feature.
