Alexandra Park Race 10

BOOK MID-WINTER CHRISTMAS AT ALEX PARK 24 JULY MOB TROT

Prize Money: -

TIZOURS (3) recorded a strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 2200m at Cambridge Raceway. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. PIRAYAS (4) has been racing well of late. Finished fifth at his latest appearance over 2200m at this track, beaten 8 metres after having placed second in all of his three previous runs. Primary contender based on recent form. MICKY HILL (5) faces the starter for the first time. By What The Hill and hails from the Mark Purdon stable. Trial winner who looks above average. Finds a nice race so anticipating a bright start to his career. SHARDS AVATAR (6) was beaten 14 metres on debut last start over 2200m at this track after breaking from a stand. Racing from a mobile start today and has plenty of scope for improvement. Worth including in combinations.
