Albion Park Race 3

Yabby Dam Farms Mdn Pace

Prize Money: $6,260

NORTHVIEW CRUNCHA NZ (1) finished eighth last start, beaten 23 metres at Alexandra Park over 2200m. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish. HEZ OUR PLAYBOY (5) has not raced for seven months. Looks forward enough for this return after winning in a recent trial. Likely to run a big race to kick off this campaign. HUNGRY FOR MORE (8) is a three-year-old filly from the Ben Crosby yard on debut. Shouldn't spend a penny from this draw and the sprint lane may come in handy. Was not far away in a recent trial. Capable of taking this out. GO MINNIE (7) is worth some thought after her last-start sixth over 1660m at this track on August 11.

Last start 7th (Fr1) over 1660m at this track beaten 6 m by Aragorn (1:59.00) in 2yo on August 18 at $21. At her previous start was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr6) over 1660m at this track beaten 23 m by Shine Like Me (1:59.60) in 2yo on August 11 at $34. This looks a suitable assignment.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr7) over 1660m at this track beaten 20 m by Maywyn Son Of Lou (1:59.30) in 2yo on August 11 at $41. At the run before 7th (Sr1) over 1660m at this track beaten 55 m by Oh Its On (1:55.50) in 2yo on August 4 at $41. Drawn favourably and is worth another chance.

Returns from the paddock. At the latest first-up run was well beaten after breaking at this track on August 23 2024. Recent trials will help bring her on but a lack of race-fitness might work against.

Last start 6th (Fr3) over 1660m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 8 m by Sweet Leah Jane (1:59.40) in 2yo on August 11 at $19. At the run before solid effort when 3rd (Fr2) over 1660m after showing early speed at this track beaten 10 m by Barracuda (1:57.70) on August 6 at $14. Rates highly and can do much better.
