Alexandra Park Race 3

THE MICO AUCKLAND MBL PACE

Prize Money: -

AWESOME CHOICE (7) was 1.4 metres away in second at Cambridge Raceway over 2200m last start at his first run back from a spell. Must raise the bar but a win is on the cards. WE WILL RISE AGAIN (4) resumes from a spell of five-and-a-half months after closing off last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid third over 1700m at this track. Sure to be right there at the finish. SEA YOU NOW (5) was beaten 30 metres on debut six months ago over 1700m at this track. First-up since that run and has plenty of scope for improvement. ENVY OF ANGELS (3) is a two-year-old colt by Bettor's Delight from Spellbound on debut. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Will be ready to run a big race.
