Albion Park Race 6 - Downbytheseaside Standing At Woodlands Stud Band 5 Pace
BASILISK BOB (5) maintained the recent momentum last time out when he came from this barrier and scored by a nose at this venue. He could go right on with the job now that he is back in winning form. JEKAMIAS NZ (8) led from a good draw and showed plenty of fight to salute last week at this circuit and distance, getting home by a head. Can settle just behind them and wait on the sprint lane. Could be dangerous again. DOUGS FLAME (9) switches from NSW to the Jack Butler yard. Owns a good record at this distance and his best form would measure up. SAINT CRUSADER (3) was luckless when held up from a back row draw and beaten only 1.6m last week. Draws to play a role.

Nine-year-old gelding showed improvement last time. 3rd (Sr1) over 1660m at this track beaten 3.5 m by Exclusive Hustler (1:54.40) in 4yo+ B 5 NR 55 or better on April 11 at $6.50. The run before was not as impressive when well beaten into seventh after being driven well back, after a quick start, behind Path To Greatness at this track over 2138m in a 4yo+ B 5 NR 55 or better on April 4 at $71. This looks a far sterner task.

Solid run when a close third after a quick start, behind B Mac C at Redcliffe over 2040m in a 3yo+ NR 48 to 55 on April 16 at $2.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Tiger Tommy at Redcliffe over 2040m in a 3yo+ NR 47 to 54 on April 22 at $3. In the mix for exotic players.
