Albion Park Race 7

I H Capital Band 4 Pace

Prize Money: $20,770

Hard to knock the form of CHEERSTOLOU (3) who has recorded five wins and a second from six starts at this circuit and distance since switching to Queensland, the latest effort an easy 8m success after leading. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Will be hard to stop. RISK TAKER (5) kicked off the campaign with a couple of minor placings then was at his best last start to score by 4.5 metres at this circuit and distance. Draws wider but is race fit so could strike again. TARGARYEN NZ (4) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 2138m at this track. MIRACLE MOOSE NZ (1) is worth some thought after his last-start fifth over 2138m at this track on December 27.

Five-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1660m. Last start posted a big 8 m win as favourite when quickly away, (Fr1) at this track (2:00.80) beating Mister Reactor in B 5 No NR on December 27 at $1.07. Is a top chance again.

Fair run when beaten by 6 m finishing sixth after being driven well back, behind Darin at this track over 1660m in a B 4 No NR on December 13 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind Call To Order at this track over 2138m in a B 4 No NR on December 27 at $9. Among the major players.
