Albion Park Race 2

Sunshine Stars Yearling Sale Sun 22 Feb Mbl Pace

Prize Money: $9,120

IMANI (2) has been racing in great heart and maintained the momentum when she raced parked and fought well to miss by a head as runner-up here last week. That continued a string of top-four finishes including placings at her last four. Deserves a win and gets her chance from a low draw. OHANA DANCER (5) covered ground in the latter stages so was solid in a midfield effort when resuming here last week, beaten 6 metres. Fitter so can progress. WAR CLUB (6) draws wide but did a good job to come from the second line for a last-start win by more than 9 metres at this venue. COPPERFIELD NZ (4) returns to the front row after a good showing here last week.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Llanfair Llewellan at this track over 1660m in a 3yo+ NR 43 to 50 on January 13 at $5. Then a handy effort when a close second after a quick start, behind Hold Onto Ya Bling at this track over 1660m in a 3yo+ NR up to 55 on January 20 at $2.15. Looks very hard to beat.

Didn't do much last start, 7th (Sr1) over 1660m at this track beaten 11 m by Hold Onto Ya Bling (1:58.20) in 3yo+ NR up to 55 on January 20 at $18. Before that 4th (Fr5) over 1660m at this track beaten 4.5 m by Our Dickie Bart (1:57.00) in 3yo+ NR 49 to 55 on January 6 at $26. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 4th (Fr5) over 1660m after racing wide at this track, beaten 4.5 m by Im Boo (1:57.50) in 4yo+ NR 50 or better on January 17 at $11. Before that, 8th (Sr3) over 2138m at this track, beaten 8 m by My Ultimate Flynn (2:35.20) in 4yo+ NR 50 or better on January 10 at $81. Can do a lot better in this suitable contest.
