Albion Park Race 9

2025 Queensland Trotters Oaks (Group 3)

Prize Money: $31,160

LAYDOWNLUNA (5) has come from 20m handicaps to finish runner-up in her last two outings. She'll relish the return to a mobile start having kicked off her campaign with back-to-back wins under those conditions, both coming at this circuit and distance. Reliable filly who will be tough to beat against her own age and sex. DOWN SOUTH DAISY (3) had been racing consistently before landing a well-deserved win at this circuit and distance last week, leading to get home by 1.7m. Draws to push forward again and looks the main danger. OURPETABILT (4) was a beaten favourite last start but owns a decent record at this venue and distance so is capable of better. NSW visitor DONNIE GAL (2) is aided by a low draw.

Resuming after a layoff of three months. Well beaten at the end of her last preparation at this course and distance when tenth at very long odds behind Laydownluna. Doubt she can match these.

Didn't do much last start, 7th (Fr3) over 2300m at Menangle, beaten 25 m by Oria (2:52.70) in NR up to 52 on November 10 at $17. Before that 6th (Sr1) over 1770m at Canberra, well beaten by Thebestbourbon (2:10.30) in NR up to 55 on October 13 at $11. Facing a tough assignment.

Last start 5th (Fr4) over 2138m at this track, beaten 9 m by Down South Daisy (2:43.30) in 3yo No NR on November 14 at $2.50. At the start before 5th (10m Fr2) over 2138m at this track beaten 50 m by Northern Heights (2:39.50) in 3yo+ NR up to 45 on November 6 at $10. Capable of more than she has shown recently. Capable of testing this field with her A-game.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing second behind Whirlwind Wilbur at this track over 2138m in a 3yo+ NR up to 45 on October 23 at $2.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second behind Gait With Grace at this track over 2138m in a 3yo+ NR up to 45 on October 31 at $4.40. Consistent filly who looks tough to stop.
