Albion Park Race 10 - 2026 Wayne Wilson Memorial Paleface Adios Classic (Group 3)
JACWILL KID (4) has joined Jason Grimson since winning both his heat and the Group 1 final of the Gold Crown series at Bathurst in March. Has impressively won two trials since then, the latest by a big space at this circuit and distance. He looks tough to stop off that. Unbeaten filly BIRDSONG (2) hasn't raced since recording her fourth straight win by taking out the G1 Gold Tiara final in March but has been readied with two strong trial wins at Menangle. Has the speed to take advantage of the low draw so must be a danger. AARDIES A STAR NZ (3) is a progressive former Kiwi who has won both times he has raced over this distance here. Draws to be involved again. Last-start Breeders Classic placegetter BETTOR ONE (1) tackles some smart ones here but is yet to miss the top-two and gets the ace draw.

Freshened-up since the last run 35 days ago. Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 1.1 m second behind Savage Seas at this track over 1660m 2yo G3 CG last start. Before that was beaten a nose second again at this track in 2yo CG on May 19. Consistent and the ace draw could see him competitive again.

Resuming after a spell of three-and-a-half months. Finished off last campaign with a win by 4 m (Sr1) at Bathurst (2:04.00) beating Soho Aster in 2yo G1 F on March 28 at $2.50. Previous preparation first-up posted a big 17 m win after showing early speed, (Fr6) at Bathurst (2:04.40) beating Bordentown in 2yo on February 11 at $4.40. Unbeaten filly who won a Group 1 last start and has been readied with two trial wins so is a big threat.

First up. At the last run he posted a big 4.5 m win when quickly away, (Fr1) at Bathurst (2:04.40) beating Gocciadoro in 2yo G1 CG on March 28 at $2.70. Has joined Jason Grimson since winning a Group 1 last start and is trialling strongly so expecting a bright return.

Resumes today. At the latest first-up run 3rd (Fr5) over 1660m at this track beaten 2.25 m by Maywyn Son Of Lou (1:59.90) in 2yo on March 24 at $13. Might need easier.
