Alexandra Park Race 5

HAVE YOUR CHRISTMAS PARTY AT ALEX PARK HANDICAP TROT

Prize Money: -

PANTANI (8) lost all chance with an early break from a mobile start last week but was ultra impressive when spanking his rivals here prior. Manners are a worry but he has the talent if he gets it right. OCEAN EYES (4) made an encouraging return to racing when she placed from this mark last start. Owns a good record at this circuit and distance and has won second-up before so progression is likely. Hard to knock the recent consistency of BOLT FOR THE HILL (7) who added to a series of top-four finishes by winning here last week. Chance again. WESTAR MILLY (6) goes back 10m in the handicap but must be respected after continuing the good form with a last-start win.
