Albion Park Race 5 - Benstud Standardbreds Pace
PLANET DOWNS (8) continued a run of top-two finishes when he scored by 5 metres at Redcliffe last week. Won over this distance the last time he raced here three back. No harm in drawing here with the sprint lane to rely upon. This looks a sterner test but he is capable of another big performance. BETTOR CHEER NZ (3) has been racing well, filling a top-three position at his last five starts including a third most recently at this venue. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Could break through. MONOPOLLIE (7) draws wide but only missed by a head when second at his most recent appearance, his third placing from his last four starts here. Could go one better with even luck. ASCOT SHOWTIME (4) has some claims off a win here three back.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Princess Arna at this track over 1660m in a 3yo+ on June 4 at $10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third behind Warrawee Flyer at this track over 2138m in a 3yo+ on June 9 at $15. Has a low draw and should go well again.

Finding it hard to put a couple of good runs together. Last start was 3rd (Fr3) over 2138m at this track, beaten 8 m by Dee Terror (2:35.10) in 3yo+ on June 11 at $19. Before that beaten 18 metres, seventh at this track over 1660m 3yo+ on June 4. Not keen.

Last start 8th (Fr2) over 1660m after showing early pace at this track beaten 30 m by Needbee (1:56.20) in 4yo+ M on June 6 at $41. At the run before 4th (Fr1) over 1660m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 30 m by Tilly Dunnage (1:54.50) in M on May 28 at $26. This looks a more suitable assignment.
