Albion Park Race 5 - Sweet Lou - Australia's Champion Stallion 2025 Qualifying Pace (B Div)
NEXT TO ME NZ (1) has been solid from wider draws since he finished fourth from this barrier here last month. There was merit in his effort to finish midfield at big odds in stronger company last week. This suits better and he should get his chance from the ace draw. BETTOR CHEER NZ (9) is racing in good form, recording back-to-back placings at this circuit and distance. May need some luck from the back row but if it comes his way he could break through. JOHN WAYNE NZ (4) overcame a back row draw when winning last month at Redcliffe and was good when fourth from a wider barrier at his most recent appearance here. A lower draw brings ARKIN WICKED (2) into calculations.

Recent form below what he is capable of. Last start 6th (Fr3) over 1660m at this track was 6th-4.3 at the bell, beaten 7 m by Our Rocky (1:55.70) on September 26 at $151. The run before 11th (Fr4) over 2138m after being wide early at this track, at the bell was 11th-2.34 beaten 14 m by Loch Lomond (2:35.50) in 4yo+ on September 19 at $13. The ace draw can see him turn his form around.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best.

Fair performance when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third behind Dove Lake at this track over 1660m in a 4yo+ on September 19 at $17. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Golden Shooz at this track over 2138m in a 4yo+ on September 26 at $34. Can be thereabouts.
