Alexandra Park Race 4

IRT YOUNG GUNS EASTON LIGHT CLASSIC MOBILE TROT

Prize Money: -

DUKE OF BOURBON (7) kept his manners in check and showed what he is capable of when digging deep to beat many of these rivals in scoring at this circuit and distance at just his second appearance. Draws wider but has upside so could strike again. APOLLO ELEVEN (1) came from this barrier and finished third to DUKE OF BOURBON last start after kicking off his career with back-to-back wins. Draws to enjoy the favours and could turn the tables. ROYAL MONARCH (2) split the two-two selections when runner-up last time and draws closer to the pegs. Definite player. Manners let T K SUPERSONIC (6) down last start but he had finished runner-up behind APOLLO ELEVEN and ROYAL MONARCH in his other two starts. Worth another chance.
