Albion Park Race 2

Benstud Standardbreds Up To 2 Wins As 3Yo+ Pathway Pace

Prize Money: $9,120

BITE THE EAR MIKE (1) has joined Chantal Turpin since he won his only outing at Mildura in March. Readied with two trials and the inside draw should ensure a cosy run. Expecting a bright start in Brisbane. FRANCO NICKELBACK NZ (4) switches from Victoria where he was beaten less than 6m at his latest appearance. Kicked off his career with three wins so has ability. PASSCHENDAELE NZ (5) should be close to peak fitness and is right in contention after finishing in the placings in both starts here off a spell. JUDAH RED (7) draws wide but has been going well in NSW, scoring back-to-back wins before a last-start placing.

Three-year-old colt facing the starter for the second time. Won at debut when by 8 m when quickly away, (Fr6) at Mildura (2:13.40) beating The Ninja in on March 20 at $2.25 at the bell was leading 3.6. Rates highly. The inside draw can see him again.

Comes here second-up after a week. Lacklustre first-up performance when 6th (Fr1) over 1660m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 30 m by Move It Lou (1:55.60) in 2-3yo+ on May 19 at $41. Will not find this easy. Prefer others.

Recent form below what he is capable of. Last start 5th (Fr5) over 2240m after showing early speed and racing wide at Melton, at the bell was 4th-3.72 beaten 6 m by All Blazing Guns (2:42.50) on May 9 at $11. The run prior 7th (Sr5) over 1720m at Melton was 7th-8.2 at the bell, beaten 18 m by Lambro Mach (2:01.70) on April 24 at $4.20. Worth another chance. Switches from Victoria and can measure up.

Solid run when beaten by 2 m finishing second behind Ruby Rhayne Bow at this track over 1660m on May 7 at $7. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after being driven well back, behind Move It Lou at this track over 1660m in a 2-3yo+ on May 19 at $17. Looks close to a win.
