The Be Good Johnny Sprint headlines the harness racing action at Albion Park on Saturday night. There looks to be plenty of pressure engaged so punters should expect to see a fast run race.
The track has played fine all week and with no rain around, the surface should produce some quick times.
There's no bias expected at all, so look for every runner to get their chance.
Michael has generated $20,810 profit from $100 win bets over the past 365 days.

Race 2 CHANGEOVER @ BURWOOD STUD MARES QUALIFYING PACE ; 6.13PM ; 1660M
JUST DEAL IT (1) was driven like a good horse last week and went like one. She showed good gate speed and from the inside draw, should be able to do enough to hold the lead. Will be very hard to get past.
ALE ALE KAI (2) showed very good speed mid race last week to get the job done. This horse is improving and with a nice run, can be thereabouts.
ARTFUL MAID (8) is going ok but does get a very good gate. Can follow through early behind the likely leader and she should get her shot up the sprint lane.
CHERRYS THE BEST (10) is an honest mare, who will have no trouble winning against her own sex in a race of this class in due course. However, the draw and the fact there are a few handy ones in front of her make her task a little harder. Sure to run a good race though.

Race 3 EZI ALUMINIUM QUALIFYING PACE ; 6.39PM ; 2138M
RANDOM TASK (6) is racing well and should be at full fitness by now. He can work forward here and hopefully find a spot on the speed and he will be very strong. Runs all day this one and looks hard to beat.
BALLCHULISH (8) is racing really well in NSW and has very good form for this race. The draw is the main concern and I'm not sure what the tactics will be. With even luck, this one is right in this.
FEEL THE REIGN (11) is going really well. He ran into a smart one last week and copped a bit of heat, but if he can get a slice of luck from the tricky draw here, he will be hitting the line hard.
BEEF CITY BLAZE (4) is racing in career best form but this is a step-up. He hasn't drawn all that good either and will need a bit of luck early, but with his current form-lines he can't be left out.

Race 4 OHOKA PUNTER @ EGMONT PARK STUD BAND 5 PACE ; 7.13PM ; 1660M
This is a very good race with a few chances in my opinion.
It does look as though ZAHVEN BANNER (9) will be quite short in the market and I'm not knocking his form. However, I am against him due to his ugly speed map here.
MY MASTERCRAFTSMAN (8) is airborne and follows speed really well. He draws to get a very good run and can be in the perfect spot behind the likely leader. He gets a tick for that reason.
DANCE FOR GLORY (5) is racing very well and was tough down in NSW. I can see him pushing forward and holding a spot outside the leader and from there, he will be in the action all the way. Sure to race well.
ZAHVEN BANNER (9) has very good speed but he will need all of it from his back-row draw. He might be too quick and burn these off but at what I think will be a short quote, I am happy to be against given my map.
OUR MAJOR DAY (1) can lead, but these do look likely to be a bit quick for him late.
Michael has been betting on trots since he knew how to use a phone. He puts strong emphasis on speed maps and prices every race to 100% and then backs the value. He never gets swayed by market moves or prices "that's just one person's opinion'".
