Albion Park Race 3

Yabby Dam Farms Open Pace

Stake: $19,520

HEZA PUNK ROCKER NZ (1) made a winning start for Jason Grimson when he held the lead from this barrier and went on to score well at this circuit and distance. Expecting this race to pan out the same way. HES NO ROMEO NZ (3) has 7m to make up on Heza Punk Rocker through last week's second but he did start from the back line there. Draws well and had won two of his previous three here so should go well again along with FREE THINKER (4) who found winning form two back at Redcliffe before placing from the back row last week. A good draw could see a better showing from MOSSDALE TERRY NZ (2).

Last start won by 6 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr1) at this track (2:29.30) beating Hes No Romeo in on July 10 at $1.40. Can dominate from the ace draw again so is hard to go past.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Last start game effort when 2nd (Sr1) over 2138m at this track beaten 6 m by Heza Punk Rocker (2:29.30) on July 10 at $3.50. Two runs back won by 13 m as favourite (Sr2) at this track (2:30.90) beating Our Sunset Delight in 3yo+ on July 7 at $3. Decent effort last start. Draws well so can make his presence felt.

Didn't do much at the last run, 8th (Fr3) over 2138m at this track beaten 35 m by Dangerous (2:29.40) in LR on July 11 at $151. Before that 11th (Sr3) over 2138m at this track beaten 16 m by Fighter Command (2:29.90) in LR on July 4 at $151. Others read better. Drops in grade but needs to find form.
