Alexandra Park Race 9

HYDROFLOW MOBILE PACE

Stake: $17,000

GREASED LIGHTNIN (7) turned in a strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1700m at Cambridge Raceway. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. This is a nice drop in grade so he is in the right race to find the winners' list. LINCOLN LA MOOSE (4) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 2200m at this track. Each-way claims. WICKED WANDA (6) cannot be left out after solid recent performances, the latest a sound fourth at this track over 2200m.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr4) over 2200m at Cambridge Raceway beaten 7 m by Mediator (2:43.30) in 3yo+ on March 28 at $11.60. Showed ability the run before when she won by 1.4 m (Fr2) at Cambridge Raceway (2:42.40) beating Spirit Of Waiheke in 3yo+ on March 18 at $3.60. Nicely placed to take this out.
