Alexandra Park Race 9

Book For Mid-Winter Xmas At Alex Park Mbl Pace

Prize Money: $13,888

ILSAS SON (7) didn't have the best of luck in his resuming fifth and will be improved by that hitout. Finished last campaign with four straight wins so his strike rate here is strong. Can win this. TAYLAD TO USE (6) put together a pair of minor placings at Cambridge then broke through last start by a neck at this circuit and distance. Draws wider but looks a big chance again in this comparable race. KEEP IT KLASSY (5) had been racing consistently before scoring last start by a neck at this venue from a similar draw so comes right into contention. SANS AU REVOIR (3) has been about the mark since a fresh win and must be respected from the good draw.

Comes here second-up after a week. Lacklustre first-up performance when 8th (Fr2) over 2700m at Cambridge Raceway, beaten 35 m by Matty A (3:28.40) on June 20 at $13.80. Could be in need of further racing.

Fair run when beaten by 4.5 m finishing fourth behind Taylad To Use at this track over 2200m on June 6 at $19.20. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Keep It Klassy at this track over 1609m in a FM on June 13 at $8.10. Could go one better.
