Albion Park Race 8 - Outkast National Design & Construction Qualifying Pace
BUDDY PERFECT (1) is in good form having come from tougher barriers to place in his last two outings. Led to win here three back so can take advantage of the inside draw. That could see him hard to catch. DEEBO (2) has been coming from wider or second row draws of late but possesses good gate speed so a better draw can see a much improved result tonight. MIKIS JOE (8) draws for a trail and must be considered after he came from a wide barrier and finished runner-up here a week ago. Wide draw for GEM PUNTER PETE (7) but he deserves respect after a standing start win at this circuit and distance last time out.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 1.2 m third behind Thetorque Majority at this track over 1660m 4yo+ NR 50 or better last start. Before that was beaten a head third again at this track over 2138m same class on March 7. Going well and should get every chance from the inside draw.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start was well back in the run when 8th (Fr4) over 1660m at this track beaten 6 m by Thetorque Majority (1:55.90) in 4yo+ NR 50 or better on March 14 at $61. The run prior 11th (Fr7) over 2138m at this track, beaten 23 m by Cool Night (2:30.90) in 4yo+ NR 50 or better on March 7 at $81. Draws for a much better result.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr6) over 1660m at this track, beaten 6 m by Thetorque Majority (1:55.90) in 4yo+ NR 50 or better on March 14 at $101. Before that, a good run when 2nd (FT Fr1) over 2138m at this track, beaten 1.1 m by Path To Greatness (2:38.00) in 4yo+ No NR on March 3 at $7. Exotic hope.

Been racing well and showed plenty of improvement following March 5 run. Last start won by 2 m after showing early speed, (Fr5) at Redcliffe (2:29.20) beating Marty The Martian in 3yo+ NR 46 to 53 on March 12 at $14. This race will be harder than that win. May find this tougher.

Last start by a neck (FT Fr3) at this track (2:37.00) beating Tyson in 4yo+ No NR on March 10 at $5.50. Draws wide but with even luck he is a chance to make it two in a row.
