Alexandra Park Race 2

CLASSIQUE LANDSCAPERS TROT

Stake: $15,000

WHATEVER IT TAKES (6) finished fourth from this barrier when resuming them made progress to place last time out. Has upside and should be nearing peak fitness now so gets his chance. MASS DISRUPTION (8) put the writing on the wall when second last start at Cambridge. Should be fitter again third-up so has winning claims. IM A ROCKSTAR (2) draws well and is looming as a real threat after a good effort last start, coming from a wider barrier for second at this circuit and distance. PIRAYAS (3) was let down by manner last time but has claims off the prior placing.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Cyclone Sala at this track over 2200m in a 3yo+ on June 27 at $76.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Itmusclebelove at this track over 2200m in a 3yo+ on July 4 at $17.50. Draws to make an impact again.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing fourth behind Itmusclebelove at this track over 2200m in a 3yo+ on July 4 at $2.70. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Manchester's Moment at this track over 2200m in a 3yo+ on July 11 at $11.20. Fitter again so can strike.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Royal Secret at Cambridge Raceway over 2200m in a 3yo+ on July 17 at $7.30. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Itmusclebelove at Cambridge Raceway over 2200m in a 3yo+ on July 24 at $6.40. Big improver last start and can progress further.
