Albion Park betting tips & quaddie picks | Thursday, September 7
Albion Park is set to host an 11-race program on Thursday night from 6:53pm local time. The meeting is headlined by the Listed Molly Campbell Silver Dollars Final, featuring the likes of potential superstar King Of Aces as well as Tagovailoa and I'm Old School.
Race 2: Lily Monelli (2)
Lily Monelli is racing in a rich vein of form and can make it two wins on the bounce. The daughter of Hecton Bale is certainly not letting age slow her down, as she is approaching five years old and is arguably in career-best form. Her recent efforts in Townsville have been brilliant, running second to both Hara's Herbie and Redemption Day. She returned to Albion Park last Thursday, winning by three lengths in a personal-best 29.83 over the 520m. The step back up to the 600m will suit her, as she ran home in a strong 12.60 last start. She's drawn ideally with Samurai Mind inside, who is stepping up from 520m and can provide a good cart into this race.
Best Bet
Race 2 – 
Lily Monelli (6)
Form: 1221 | Career: 101: 18-22-11 | Trainer: Jedda Cutlack
Race 6: Jimmy The Singer (1)
Jimmy The Singer draws ideally and will be looking to record his 15th career victory on Thursday night. Since returning from a two-month spell in August, the three-year-old has won two races and placed in another, all at this track and trip. From his seven starts over the 600m at Albion Park, he has recorded four wins and one placing. Add in his brilliant record of three wins from five starts in box one, and he is a deserving favourite. He finds the right race here, with Wendy Rocks returning from a spell and Baccarat Boy being unsighted for two weeks due to major fitness concerns. Expect him to make his own luck on the arm and take plenty of catching.
Best Bet
Race 6 – 
Majestic Legend (3)
Form: 3131 | Career: 36: 14-5-6 | Trainer: Corey Mutton
Race 11: Springtime Storm (4)
Springtime Storm will be looking to end his long run of outs when he steps out in the last. The son of Fernando Bale has been racing against some of the best dogs in Brisbane in recent times, including the likes of Jay Is Jay and Magistrate. He simply hasn't had the speed or class to be competitive at that level and will benefit dropping back to masters class. He does have a touch of speed on his night, while many of these older dogs lack a turn of foot early. His main rivals in this affair, Call Me Buster and Hopeful Bella, are notoriously slow beginners and will be back among the pack fighting for gaps. Springtime Storm will make his own luck on speed, and if there's a bunch up in behind, he will get away to score a nice win.
