Albion Park Race 11

Outkast National Design & Construction Pace

Prize Money: $11,000

ALWAYS BE CHAPS (2) scored by 1.75 metres at this track over 2138m last start at his first run back from a spell. Has the benefit of a good draw. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat again. MY ULTIMATE FLYNN NZ (3) has been racing well of late. Finished second at his latest appearance over 1660m at this track, beaten a nose. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Has the ability to take care of this field. OUR VINCENT CAN GOGH NZ (6) was responsible for a better effort last time out when runner-up over 1660m at this track. Should run a big race. CHARGE AHEAD (4) is worth some thought despite his last-start ninth over 2138m at this track on May 16.

Fair run when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Dougs Flame at this track over 2138m in a 4yo+ on May 9 at $19. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Megs Boy at this track over 1660m in a 4yo+ on May 16 at $8. Should be in the finish again.

Last start 9th (Sr1) over 2138m at this track, beaten 11 m by Tinder Surprise (2:32.00) in 4yo+ on May 16 at $10. At the start before 7th (Sr2) over 1660m at this track, beaten 8 m by French Fries (1:55.40) in 4yo+ on May 9 at $17. Certainly up to this and he is a major player.

Didn't do much last time out, 11th (Fr5) over 2138m after racing wide at this track, beaten 70 m by Sweet On Lexy (2:28.60) in 4yo+ on May 23 at $34. Before that 5th (Fr4) over 2138m at this track beaten 8 m by Manila Playboy (2:31.10) in 4yo+ on May 2 at $10. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Two back was well beaten into tenth behind Son Of Mac at Melton over 2240m on May 9 at $51. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second behind Fernco Nel at this track over 1660m in a 4yo+ on May 23 at $31. Leading player.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Ellis Street at this track over 1660m in a 4yo+ on April 25 at $21. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third behind Attachment at this track over 1660m in a 4yo+ on May 2 at $34. Sure to be thereabouts.
