Albion Park Race 6

Somerset Farms Open Pace

Prize Money: $20,770

Prepared to overlook the latest result of IM THE FALCON NZ (4) as he drew poorly and had to work. Has finished top-three in his other three starts since joining Chantal Turpin for this campaign, highlighted by a win at this circuit and distance two back. A better draw can see him back in the winners' list. TIMS A TROOPER (7) continues to perform strongly, racing up to four wide when winning over this distance two back before missing a smart one by just a head last week. Draws wide but was runner-up from this barrier last month and the recent consistency is hard to knock. FRANKIE FEROCIOUS (5) overcame a 30m handicap to win when off a let-up here last time and got within a nose of TIMS A TROOPER prior. Contender. A return to the front row brings JIMARTEE (3) into contention.

Last start 3rd (Fr3) over 1660m after showing early speed at this track beaten 3.5 m by Tims A Trooper (1:54.60) in 4yo+ No NR on February 21 at $6. Two runs back 7th (Fr1) over 2138m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 8 m by Speak The Truth (2:30.40) in No NR on February 14 at $11. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Sr3) over 1660m at this track, beaten 7 m by Tims A Trooper (1:54.60) in 4yo+ No NR on February 21 at $3.70. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 1.3 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr3) at this track (1:54.60) beating Hector in No NR on February 7 at $1.22. The return to the front line can see him bounce back to winning form.

Seven-year-old entire showed improvement last time. Was well back in the run when 3rd (Fr4) over 2138m at this track beaten 2 m by Speak The Truth (2:31.20) in No NR on February 28 at $34. The race before was not as impressive when well beaten into ninth behind Tims A Trooper at this track over 1660m in a 4yo+ No NR on February 21 at $31. Prefer others.

Last start solid effort when 2nd (Fr5) over 2138m after showing early pace at this track, beaten a head by Speak The Truth (2:31.20) in No NR on February 28 at $3.80. Two runs back won by 3 m as favourite (Fr5) at this track (1:54.60) beating Deus Ex in 4yo+ No NR on February 21 at $2.60. Continues to perform well and is a leading player again.
