Alexandra Park Race 9

QUIZ NIGHT EVERY WED IN THE ALEX JUNIOR DRIVERS MOBILE PACE

Prize Money: -

SOCIAL DISTANCING (5) recorded a strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1700m at this track. Tackles a similar assignment and he can grab a win. CHANEL NOIRE (3) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1700m at this track, finishing third and just 1.1 metres from the winner. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meets a comparable field and she can take this out. RAGNAR LOTHBROK (6) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid third at Cambridge Raceway over 2200m. Hard to find fault. DAVE DULEY (2) disappointed last time when seventh over 1700m at this track. Can make amends.
