Albion Park Race 4 - Downbytheseaside Standing At Woodlands Stud Qualifying Pace
BETTORLIGHTEM UP (1) made a winning start for the Jason Grimson yard two back at Menangle before leading and sticking on for third there last time, finishing just 1.5 metres from the winner. Came from wider barriers in both of those outings so should relish the ace draw tonight. MARTIN MAGIC (5) has been knocking on the door for a while and added to a string of top-four finishes when third here last week. Has recorded a win and a placing in two tries at this longer distance. Contender. MYNAMESEVAN (6) came from the back row to find winning form two back at Redcliffe and missed by just a head here last week. Go well. SMARTER THAN YOU (3) draws a couple of spots lower than last week and had recorded a string of placings prior.

Driver: Jason Grimson

Beaten favourite last start when third at Menangle on June 2. Was victorious the start before at Menangle on May 19. Should get every chance from the inside draw.

Last start was well back in the run when 5th (Fr5) over 1660m at this track beaten 16 m by Jungle Dragon (1:55.10) in 4yo+ on June 6 at $61.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Lochinvar Camaro at this track over 1660m in a 3yo+ on June 2 at $6. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after showing early speed, behind Jungle Dragon at this track over 1660m in a 4yo+ on June 6 at $23. Closing in on a win.

Last start good run despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr7) over 1660m after racing wide at this track, beaten a head by Imperial Night (1:57.50) in 4yo+ on June 6 at $8.50. Two runs back posted a big 8 m win as favourite (Sr3) at Redcliffe (2:09.40) beating My Ultimate Victor in 3yo+ on May 25 at $2.20. Racing very well. Can play a role again.
