Albury Race 4 - Oleblack Joe Lounge Opening Soon Pace
CLASSIC BEESMACK (2) gave his opponents no chance last start when he cruised to a 12 metre victory over 1760m at Coolamon. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meets a similar line up so he can certainly win again. THE MOUNTAIN (1) won at Coolamon two runs ago before having his colours lowered at his latest appearance over 1760m there beaten 8 metres. Tackles a similar assignment and he can bounce back straight away from the coveted pegs draw. BETTERTHANTHEBOYZ (9) didn't do a bad job when fifth over 1758m at Leeton last time out. Top-three commodity. MYRUNA (6) is worth some thought after his last-start fifth over 1760m at Coolamon on April 25. Can earn some minor money.

Showed ability the run before when she won by a head (Fr2) at Kilmore (2:04.90) beating Rollwitharty in 4yo+ MAIDEN on April 10 at $13 at the bell was 2nd-5.01. One for the exotics.
