Albion Park Race 4

Selective Motors Albion Pace

Stake: $9,900

WAIKAKA MAGIC (3) is a progressive gelding who made it three from three at this circuit when racing parked from a wider barrier and proving too good last week. Takes a step up in grade but is well served by the lower draw. Hard to stop. INTO THE MYSTIC (2) made an encouraging return when she came from a wider barrier and finished a head away in third at this venue. She is two from two when second-up so progression is likely. MY ULTIMATE BUDDHA (5) has changed yards since last seen Menangle six months ago but is proven fresh and has been readied with two trials. Capable of a forward showing. GLENEAGLE VEE CEE (4) should be at its peak now so can feature. Something for the Multiples: WAIKAKA MAGIC NZ (3) INTO THE MYSTIC NZ (2)

Didn't do much at the last run, was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr6) over 1660m at this track, beaten 23 m by Lulu Mae (1:56.60) in No NR M on March 29 at $51. Before that 7th (Fr3) over 2138m at this track, beaten 19 m by Bev The Goat (2:35.80) in No NR M on March 22 at $3. Others make more appeal.

In good form. Won by 1.5 m as favourite when driven back in the field, when quickly away, (Fr7) held up early, at this track (1:55.30) beating French Fries in NR 49 to 53 on April 1 at $1.10.

Didn't do much last start, was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr6) over 1780m at Redcliffe, beaten 20 m by Shackouttheback (2:10.50) in NR 53 to 58 on March 27 at $26. Before that 9th (Sr2) over 1780m after being wide early at Redcliffe, beaten 30 m by Vinsanity (2:07.50) in NR up to 75 on February 13 at $16. Will not find this easy. Would prefer to see a return to form before recommending.
