Alexandra Park Race 9

Irt. Your Horse. Our Passion Mobile Pace

Prize Money: $13,636

GREASED LIGHTNIN (6) made a nice return at his latest appearance two weeks ago, finishing 2.25 metres away in second over 1700m at this track. Big chance in a similar race. ABMAN (7) is at the track for the first time. By Always B Miki and hails from the Benjamin Butcher stable. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Any push in betting will add to the confidence. LOU WILL (5) last appeared when 11th over 2050m at Phar Lap Raceway 11 weeks ago. Expect a better effort to kick off this prep. CRANACHAN (8) last appeared when fifth over 2200m at Gore Raceway 11 weeks ago. In this line-up must be respected.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Murtle The Turtle at Cambridge Raceway over 2200m in a 2yo+ FM on November 15 at $3.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Kevin Kline at this track over 2200m in a 2yo+ on November 29 at $10.60. Has a low draw and will go well again.

First up. At the last run she solid effort when 2nd (Fr2) over 2200m at Cambridge Raceway, beaten 10 m by Steel Ledger (2:44.50) in 3yo+ on August 27 at $2.60. Sure to be thereabouts.

Showed a glimmer of form last start 3rd (Fr3) over 2200m at this track beaten 8 m by Kevin Kline (2:44.80) in 2yo+ on November 29 at $21.70. But The run before was well beaten into fifth behind Little Hoofananny at this track over 2200m in a 2yo+ on November 22 at $48.80. Not as keen on his chances in this line-up.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield
