Alexandra Park Race 1

BOOK FOR MELBOURNE CUP DAY IN THE ALEX MOBILE PACE

Prize Money: -

CARRERA HOMBRE (5) ended his maiden campaign with a string of top-four finishes at this circuit, last seen when placed in the Metro Pacers Final in May. Likely to have developed further with maturity and is well placed for a winning return. BETTOR REACTION (6) did a good job to come from a similar draw for fourth at this venue last time. Suited at this longer trip as he has recorded two wins and a placing in four attempts at it here. DELIGHTFUL CHIC (4) hasn't raced since a second at Cambridge in July but has won when fresh before. WALTZING WITH MIKI (3) draws well and has claims off a win here last month.
