Albion Park Race 9

2025 1Equine Australasian Young Drivers Championship Heat 3 (Nr70-99 Veterans)

Prize Money: $9,000

ROYAL SPEECH (10) is racing well with three nice efforts since coming from a similar barrier to win at this circuit and distance. Good from the back row again last time when he raced wide in the latter stages for a 2.7m second. Big chance. HE AINT FAKIN (7) draws wide but overcame this same barrier when scoring here three back and worked but stuck on okay from a second line draw last week. Major player with even luck. OUR MAJOR DAY (1) has been coming from wider or second row barriers so is much better served by the ace draw. MAJOR JELLIS (5) deserves respect after placing in six of his last seven starts.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 9th (Fr5) over 2138m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 45 m by Kuzma (2:32.50) in 7yo+ NR 70 to 99 on July 1 at $126. The run previous 6th (Sr3) over 1660m at this track beaten 11 m by Betterthanarocket (1:57.60) in 7yo+ NR 70 to 99 on June 10 at $34. Can do better from this draw.

Good performance when beaten by 3.5 m finishing fifth after showing early speed, behind Dougs Flame at Menangle over 1609m in a NR up to 70 on June 24 at $3.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Chevron Art at this track over 1660m in a 7yo+ NR 70 to 99 on July 8 at $8.50. Can make his presence felt.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Kuzma at this track over 2138m in a 7yo+ NR 70 to 99 on July 1 at $4.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Chevron Art at this track over 1660m in a 7yo+ NR 70 to 99 on July 8 at $6. Can be thereabouts again.

Last start 5th (Sr2) over 1660m at this track beaten 13 m by Chevron Art (1:54.90) in 7yo+ NR 70 to 99 on July 8 at $3.10.

Strong claims.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing fourth behind He Aint Fakin at this track over 1660m in a 7yo+ NR 70 to 99 on June 24 at $12. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.75 m finishing second behind Kuzma at this track over 2138m in a 7yo+ NR 70 to 99 on July 1 at $4.80. Big chance to go one better.
