Albion Park Race 3 - Benstud Standardbreds Up To Nr75 Final
MEGS BOY NZ (1) has been most impressive of late and made it two wins in a row when successful at his latest appearance, coming from the back row to get home by 4 metres. Had this draw when spanking his rivals by 21m two back at Bathurst. His record at this circuit and distance stands at five from seven. The one to beat. MAJOR CRUNCH (6) has been competitive here of late and kept the ball rolling last time when a head from the winner in second. Draws wider but could be close to another win. BUDDY PERFECT (5) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, adding a string of top-three finishes when beaten just a head at this circuit and distance last week. SPLASH OF PAYNT (8) showed pleasing improvement last time out when runner-up. Draws for a trail and could progress further third-up.

Five-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track and Bathurst. Last start posted a big 4 m win as favourite (Sr1) at this track (1:54.40) beating Buddy Perfect in 3yo+ NR up to 75 on April 10 at $1.85. The ace draw should see him hard to catch.

Backing up quickly since being well beaten this track over 1660m, 4 days ago before that 8th (Fr7) over 1660m after showing early pace at this track beaten 23 m by Megs Boy (1:54.40) in 3yo+ NR up to 75 on April 10 at $10. Maybe a place.

Comes here in the right form. Won by a nose when quickly away, (Fr3) at Redcliffe (2:08.90) beating Hes Sweet in 3yo+ NR up to 75 on April 16 at $4.60. Two runs back 4th (Sr1) over 1780m at Redcliffe beaten 4 m by Docta Feelgood (2:08.50) in 3yo+ NR 54 to 62 on April 9 at $8.50. Could sneak into the exotics.

Nine-year-old gelding showed improvement last start and is backing up after three days. 3rd (Fr5) over 2040m at Redcliffe beaten 4 m by Tiger Tommy (2:32.00) in 3yo+ NR 47 to 54 on April 22 at $6. The race before was not as impressive when well beaten into ninth after showing early speed, behind Allmighty Max at Redcliffe over 2040m in a 3yo+ NR 53 to 59 on April 15 at $6. Not keen this time.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing sixth after being driven well back, after showing early speed, behind Chezz Dale at this track over 1660m in a 3yo+ NR up to 70 on March 24 at $2.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Sweet Agenda at Redcliffe over 1780m in a 3yo+ NR up to 75 on April 1 at $12. Encouraging effort last time and can improve further.
