Albion Park Race 3

Garrards Horse & Hound Pacers Band Handicap

Prize Money: $9,120

FREE THINKER (7) had a tough draw when tackling a Group 3 last start so will relish this big class drop. Has performed well in standing starts races before. With his A-game he is good enough to overcome the 20m handicap and beat these. MIGHTY JOLT (1) has been coming from wide or second row draws of late but had some good form earlier in the campaign. Could show that again from the front mark. ARKIN WICKED (2) only beat one home in the Peak of the Creek final last start but did well to place from the back row in a heat of that series prior. ROCK SUPREME (6) made it two wins from his last four outings when scoring six days ago at Redcliffe. Facing a tougher assignment but can be competitive.

Last start was well back in the run when 9th (Fr5) over 2138m at this track beaten 17 m by Works For Me (2:33.60) in No NR on November 29 at $61. At his previous start was well back in the run when 9th (Fr4) over 1780m after showing early speed and racing wide at Redcliffe beaten 30 m by Withdistinction (2:06.30) in No NR on November 22 at $23.

Last start was well back in the run when 9th (Fr6) over 1660m at this track beaten 35 m by Cheerstolou (1:53.30) in LR NR 55 to 70 MANUAL PACERS on November 29 at $151. Before that, a game effort when 3rd (Sr1) over 1660m at this track beaten 35 m by Cheerstolou (1:52.40) in NR 55 to 70 on November 25 at $34. Better than last start and deserves another chance.

Before that 6th (10m Fr3) over 2138m at this track, beaten 35 m by Mighty Jolt (2:35.40) in No NR on October 7 at $7. Must improve sharply.
