Alexandra Park Race 5

Woodlands Stud 2025 Yearling Draft Mobile Pace

Prize Money: $15,454

RUBIRA (7) Close up last time at Addington. Has not missed the money this campaign in 4 attempts. Right in the thick of it and is a major player. ALWAYS FLYIN (4) First up and was all too good winning by a head first up last preparation at Cambridge. Hard to fault at this trip. Expect to go close. ALWAYS B YOU (3) Finished 4th last start at Addington. Has the ability to turn things around and have to respect the form at this trip. One of the hopes. MATAI PHIL (5) Missed by a narrow margin last start at Cambridge and proven performer at this distance in the past. Could sneak a place.
