Albion Park Race 5

Prize Money: $9,120

SQUAMISH (3) appreciated the return to a mobile start when he led at his most recent outing and saluted in a nice return to form at this venue, getting home by 4 metres. Draws lower so could strike again. LEAF STRIDE NZ (10) made a decent start in Queensland when he finished second to SQUAMISH a fortnight ago. Draws out a little on the second line so may need luck at some point but he is good enough to win a race of this calibre. LAYDOWNLUNA (4) is worth plenty of thought having continued her good form with a last-start win at Marburg. WHIRLWIND WILBUR (8) tends to do his best in standing start races but he has first four claims.

Has been mixing his form of late, most recently and went on to finish a respectable fourth over 2550m at Marburg last start. Before that 9th (FT) over 2138m at this track, beaten 21 m by Pinnie (2:37.80) in 4yo+ on October 10 at $151. Unlikely to threaten.

Didn't do much last time out, 8th (Fr4) over 2138m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 30 m by Sheza Chance (2:35.80) on September 1 at $12. Before that 6th (20m) over 2138m at this track beaten 23 m by Darcys Fireball (2:38.40) on August 25 at $4.60. Improvement would not surprise.

In good form recently. Last start won by 1.2 m (20m) at Marburg (3:18.90) beating Instant Delight in on October 18 at $5.50 at the bell was leading 5.77. Prefer from a standing start but has first four prospects.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Gandhi Mail at Menangle over 2300m in a G3 on September 26 at $51. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Squamish at this track over 1660m on October 13 at $2.70. Chance to go one better.
