Albion Park Race 4

Wolf Signs Up To 2 Wins As 3yo+ Pathway Pace

Prize Money: $9,000

ALWAYS B COOL NZ (6) is a lightly-raced but progressive gelding who made it two wins in a row at this circuit and distance when scoring by 4.2 metres last time. Draws wider and has had five weeks off since but was kept up to the mark with a trial win. Strong claims. MAGIC MIKI (4) kicked off his campaign with back-to-back seconds before a well-deserved victory last start, scoring by 4.2 metres at this circuit and distance. Has plenty of upside and could go on with it. BEACHBABE CROCKER (2) locked wheels last start and has placed behind Always B Cool at the trials since. Draws to be competitive. OHOKA DREAM (3) will be fitter for a respectable second when resuming last week and draws closer to the pegs.

Recent efforts haven't been up to her best. Last start 8th (Sr1) over 1660m at this track, beaten 30 m by Cherries On Top (2:01.50) in 3yo F on May 22 at $1.55. At the previous start surrendered the lead and finished 8th (Fr6) over 1609m after showing early pace at Menangle beaten 14 m by Arrhythmia (1:50.00) in 3yo G1 F on May 2 at $61. May pay to overlook the run as she looks well drawn to bounce back to form.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start posted a big 4 m win when quickly away, (Fr2) at this track (1:56.30) beating Fire And Passion in 2-3yo+ on May 12 at $5. Hard to leave out on current form. Progressive and can win again.
