Alexandra Park Race 8

HAVE YOUR CHRISTMAS PARTY AT ALEXANDRA PARK MOB PACE

Prize Money: -

CYCLONE REBEL (3) is showing good promise having kicked off his career with a win in a Sires Stakes heat at this circuit before another solid effort in his only other outing six weeks ago. Came from the back row in both of those so will enjoy this more favourable draw. FRANCO SALAH (5) has produced some nice efforts since winning at this circuit and distance last month. Draws lower than last time so can be in the finish. GOTTA GO MIKI (1) has been freshened since fading out last time but his previous two attempts from this draw had merit. BRUNTWOOD BRIGADE (4) is another that was down the track last time but wasn't far away in his previous two efforts so can do better.
