Albion Park Race 8 - Benstud Standardbreds Mares Band 5 Pace
DREAMALITTLEDREAM NZ (5) has been excellent of late and she made it two in a row when successful at her latest appearance over 1660m at this track, getting home by a neck. Good enough to take out a race like this. BUBBY TO BASE (8) went well to finish second two starts ago then registered an effortless victory last start, scoring by 7 metres over 1660m at this track. Can travel in a nice spot from this draw and wait on the sprint lane if necessary. Tackles a similar assignment and she can make it two on the trot. LULLABY NZ (1) must be considered after she finished third over 1660m at this track a week ago. SWEET AGENDA (2) should not have any excuses from the favourable draw. Include in exotic bets.

Improved last start with a game effort when 3rd (Fr3) over 1660m at this track, beaten 4.5 m by Tenaciously (1:55.60) in 4yo+ on July 25 at $5.50. Has a nice draw and expected to figure prominently again.

Six-year-old mare is racing in fine form. Won her last two outings at this track both over 1660m. Last start won by a neck as favourite (Sr1) at this track (1:58.60) beating The Lady Dior in 4yo+ on July 25 at $1.20. Bold showing expected again.

Didn't do much last time out, 7th (Sr2) over 1780m at Redcliffe beaten 6 m by Rostova (2:08.10) in 3yo+ on July 1 at $10. Before that 9th (Fr4) over 1660m after showing early pace at this track beaten 24 m by Maxo Mighty (1:54.70) in 3yo+ on June 19 at $41. Must do a lot more.
