Alexandra Park Race 8

THE ALEX BAR & EATERY MOBILE TROT

Stake: $15,000

JOHNNY TROTTER (3) is racing well with four top-five finishes in succession, the latest effort a third at this track over 2200m. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Won't find this any harder and he can add to the impressive recent record. MAD MARY (1) made a solid impact on debut last start, finishing second and beaten 1.4 metres over 2200m here. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position and has to be included. KENNY HILL (6) disappointed last time when sixth over 2200m here. Can do a lot better so worth considering for the multiples along with CYCLONE SALA (2) who draws well.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Manchester's Moment at this track over 2200m in a 3yo+ on May 30 at $1.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Crackerjack at this track over 2200m in a 3yo+ on June 6 at $2.30. Has a nice draw and expected to figure prominently again.

Last start 6th (30m U3) over 2200m at this track beaten 25 m by Crackerjack (2:55.30) in 3yo+ on June 6 at $5.60. At the start before 7th (30m U2) over 2200m at this track, beaten 21 m by Ocean Eyes (2:52.50) in 3yo+ on May 23 at $17.30. This looks a suitable assignment.

Two back was ninth behind Monaro Meg at Cambridge Raceway over 2200m in a 3yo+ on May 22 at $13.30. Then a handy effort when a close second behind All Muscled Up at Cambridge Raceway over 2200m on June 5 at $13.80. Heading the right way and is a leading player.
