Albion Park Race 1

Ladbrokes Racing Extras In Multi Band 5 Pace

Prize Money: $14,500

BUDDY PERFECT (1) only beat a few home last week but that was a stronger race and he came from wider. Had looked close to a win when recording a string of runner-up results prior and should enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. TARGARYEN NZ (8) has had some tricky draws of late but has produced some decent efforts. Should enjoy a nice trail behind the top pick and could be dangerous late. APPLIED NZ (4) drew wider and worked last start but had put together a string of top-four finishes prior so can be competitive. XPRESS PARTY (9) draws on the second line but is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance at this circuit and distance.

Good performance when beaten by 3.5 m finishing fifth after being driven well back, behind Charge Ahead at this track over 1660m in a 4yo+ B 5 NR 55 or better on April 18 at $34. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Cool Night at this track over 1660m in a 4yo+ B 4 NR 60 or better on April 25 at $4.40. Can be competitive again from a low draw.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 3.5 m seventh behind Charge Ahead at this track over 1660m 4yo+ B 5 NR 55 or better last start. Before that was beaten a nose second again at this track same class on April 11. Best form should see him in the finish.

Improved last start with a solid effort when 3rd (Fr3) over 1660m after being wide early at this track, beaten 1.1 m by Charge Ahead (1:58.20) in 4yo+ B 5 NR 55 or better on April 18 at $9. Decent effort last start. Go well.

Resumes. Finished off last preparation when well beaten into twelfth after a quick start, behind Exclusive Hustler at this track over 2138m in a 4yo+ B 5 NR 55 or better on February 28 at $11. Previous preparation first-up ran on strong from last on the turn and won by a neck as favourite when driven back in the field, (Fr6) held up early, at Globe Derby Park (2:14.80) beating Hy Filante in 5 Lifetime Wins on April 22 2025 at $2.40. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Market watch fresh.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield
