Albion Park Race 4

Leading Edge Security Pacers Band Hcp

Prize Money: $9,120

FINAL DEADLINE NZ (7) made a winning return to the track at his latest appearance, scoring by 2.4 metres after taking charge of proceedings a fair way from home. That took his record here to 10 from 14 and he races well when second-up so can overcome the 30m handicap to deliver again. FATE AWAITS (4) won twice in a row here before working and fighting on for second to Final Deadline last start. Starts 20m in front of that rival this time so is a chance to turn the tables. PATH TO GREATNESS (2) has made mistakes from the standing start in the last two outings but still managed to place. Can be competitive with manners. REGAZZO DI TILLY (5) enjoys a big class drop off his last-start third behind Leap To Fame and hasn't missed a place when third-up.

Solid run when beaten by 2 m finishing second behind Whos Delight at this track over 2138m in a 4yo+ on September 15 at $1.28. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Greased Lightnin at this track over 2138m in a 4yo+ on September 22 at $2.70. Sure to play a significant role.

Didn't do much at the last run, 7th (Fr7) over 1660m at this track, at the bell was 7th-11.95 beaten 15 m by Uncle Tony (1:58.10) in 3yo+ on September 29 at $10. Before that 5th (10m) over 2138m at this track, beaten 13 m by Greased Lightnin (2:35.80) in 4yo+ on September 22 at $34. Win doesn't look likely.

Last start good run when 2nd (Fr5) over 2138m after being wide early at this track was 2nd-3.82 at the bell, beaten 2.5 m by Final Deadline (2:31.00) in 4yo+ on September 26 at $3.80. Two runs back won by 10 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr1) at this track (2:32.10) beating Miracle Moose in 4yo+ on September 12 at $1.04 at the bell was leading 4.08. This race appears well within his grasp.

Two back was well beaten into seventh after showing early speed, behind Fate Awaits at this track over 2138m in a 4yo+ on September 12 at $26. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Leap To Fame at this track over 1660m in a 4yo+ on September 26 at $51. Progressing well. Top prospects.

Backs up three days after he failed to impress was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr5) over 1660m after being wide early at this track beaten 20 m by Smarter Than You (1:54.80) in 4yo+ on October 3 at $81. Before that 9th (Sr3) over 2138m at this track, beaten 21 m by Final Deadline (2:31.00) in 4yo+ on September 26 at $101. Hard to make a case on recent form.
