AU2 - Albion Park - Race 1

Pete McMullen has chosen to drive IMA BOOTY SHAKER (4) over her four Chantal Turpin-trained stablemates in this race and that is a good lead. The former Kiwi came from one spot wider for third at her local debut and as that was her first outing since November it should have improved her. BARSBY (6) hasn't raced since tackling a G1 in August, his first time out of the placings in six starts. He is two from two when fresh so expect him to be wound up for a strong return. JAMES ALFRED (8) resumes from a spell of six months after closing off last campaign in good form including a G1 second two back. No harm in drawing here with the sprint lane to rely upon and should be fitter for last week's trial. MISS BLUETRUMP (1) continues to race well with a string of top-three finishes to her name. The ace draw should see her competitive again. UCANCALLME AL (5) won his only previous third-up attempt so could be ready to peak.
