Albion Park Race 7 - Stu Valentine For Bloodstock Insurance Band 5 Pace

BASILISK BOB (5) has been racing in great heart and kept the ball rolling last start when he cane from the back row and finished third, beaten 2.6 metres. That was his third placing from his last four starts here. Could break through. HOLD ONTO YA BLING (8) didn't do a bad job when fourth from wider on this row at Redcliffe last time out and draws for a trail. THETORQUE MAJORITY (7) draws wide but scored a win at this circuit and distance two back so could feature with luck.

Two back was well beaten into tenth after being driven well back, behind Betterthan Popsy at this track over 2138m in a 4yo+ B 5 NR 55 or better on March 14 at $7. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing third behind Path To Greatness at this track over 2138m in a 4yo+ B 5 NR 55 or better on April 4 at $23. Close to a win and this could be his chance.
